This felt very real-world for the most part, which I'm fine with for one flick as long as the franchise goes back to the old vibe of being like an ancient fairytale.




*Spoiler*






One exception: The whole scene at Vader's Castle felt super fantasy to me and truthfully I think this film nailed the essence of Darth Vader so much better than almost anything else in SW ever did. This was the menacing former-human machine monster you could imagine people in a galaxy far away having nightmares of.
