Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens
Best: I know many love the moment between Kylo Ren and Han Solo, and it’s good. But the moment that still makes me pump my fist and cheer is when Rey uses the Force to yank the lightsaber into her hand and fight Kylo Ren. Not only is that moment awesome, but it leads into one of my favorite lightsaber duels in the series. It’s a fight that feels heavy, dangerous, sloppy, and unlike any duel we had seen up until that point.
Worst: I understand that Force Awakens was trying to recapture the feel of A New Hope and the older films, but having the Resistance blow up yet another big, super weapon felt so dull. The fight on Starkiller is neat to watch, but it just feels so silly. Even Solo points out in the film how they’ve done this a few times. Yeah, we know dude. We were there, too.
