    I saw it this week and chose the 3D version because the regular version was sold out. I though the 3D worked well and it wasn't nearly as distracting as I expected it to be.

    Really liked the movie from start to finish, but what impressed me the most was the film score. It's great that they created new music that felt similar in tone and theme to the Star Wars music that we're all used to, but was different enough to stand on it's own in a companion story movie. Then, when the rebellion ships showed up and the regular Star Wars music came in, man... I got serious chills. That was perfect.

    That battle scene was amazing.

    Overall, what I loved the most is that as a companion story occurring earlier in time than say The Force Awakens, just about every visual element felt perfectly matched alongside that of Star Wars part 4. I LOVED that. When Lucas made parts 1, 2, and 3, he utterly and completely fucked up everything to do with maintaining consistency of technology, both functionally and aesthetically. That's what ruined those movies. They look stupid to watch, they don't fit in with the shifting nature of technology and design in parts 4-6. It was a horror show.

    • Spot on assessment of the technology. Such a huge disconnect with the prequels_niko
    • yeah, the 3d felt really naturalscarabin

    • yup, best 3D I've experienced. Need to compare to the reg version, but it looks like they played with the dof vs. just making everything 3D.formed
    • it helped your eyes focus on the subjects and made if feel 'softer'formed
