I will see this again. For one thing, so I can try not to be distracted by constantly thinking oh, that's from this Star Wars movie, that's from that Star Wars movie, oh, that's like Rogue One, that's kind of Harry Potter, how The Matrix of them, etc. For real. This just spontaneously happened all the time.
Wimmin. Wimmin were, like, important and stuff. And actual people. Who rescued their own damn selves. Granted there was some dying going on in there.
Shout out to Frank Oz. Who may be starting to look a little like Yoda?
I do want to say that it's nice to see somebody give Adam Driver some room to act, because he does a great job of angsty, tormented, teen aged, rebellious, know it all, man child. Like, they actually do things like put their fist through a wall in a fit of pique at their frustration in trying to deal with toxic masculinity and bullying. (aka the bit with the helmet) What? Of course I have absolutely no real life experience of this whatsoever. Why do you ask?
Meanwhile, the shirt thing was pointless and stupid. Anyway, if only someone had thought to have this sort of realism and acting when they cast young Anakin. * walks away innocently whistling *
Porgs - the comic relief puffins of Ahch-To (bless you). You didn't really see their chicken legs in the movie, so that wasn't distracting. I guess there's a permanent nest of them on the Falcon, now, though. That's gonna be some tiny Lego add-ons to that kit.
Then there's the Sea Cows. I mean, that's what they were, right? Gratuitous attempts at humor. Yeah, I'm probably the wrong person to criticize that. Visual puns, ftw.
Also, why is Mark Hamill listed twice in the credits? What else did he do, did anyone notice?
Ok, kinda on some of the stuff others have mentioned. It feels like they had too many ideas, and couldn't figure out how to get down to just a few focused ones. Lots of good ideas, too. Just not terribly impressively sorted or presented. Unfortunate, but not fatal.
Can I get one of those secret Rebellion decoder rings?
