I do expect things to be salvaged from the prequels, but probably mostly in the way that Tatooine => Jakku, angsty epII Anakin => Kylo Ren, and so on.

I didn't realize Han was going to die until he was on that bridge.<br /><br />I didn't get the symbolism about the prequel trilogy worlds, but I could see that. I'd be a little disappointed if that's what it was, the prequels were generally bad, but there's a lot of salvageable stuff in there and they are <i>someone's</i> first Star Wars, y'know.VanVeldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441999455333315750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276667.post-71775506179885203962016-01-15T15:22:50.456-06:002016-01-15T15:22:50.456-06:00It's satisfying that Han's career had grow...It's satisfying that Han's career had grown beyond the Falcon. And--granted, I already enjoy things that are constructed out of references to other things--but am I the only one who thinks it's great how extremely telegraphed his last scene was? It fulfills the audience's expectations for Star Wars Story Structure so that they're less prepared for when Chewie dies next movie, or the revelation of Rey's family ties (I'm hoping for reverse clones of Amidala & Anakin). <br /><br />I really enjoyed that the characters said NOBODY IS EVER COMING BACK TO DESERT PLANET, combined with how the smaller-yet-bigger-than-Death-Star seemed to be blowing up all the Prequel Trilogy worlds. <br /><br />That star map looked worryingly like it led from Star Wars over to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
