Oh yeah, and that’s such a short scene. The film doesn’t linger on it and it makes it even more impacting. I think the first time I saw it I didn’t even see the charred skeleton and I still “got it”. It’s very low key.

It’s also great how the film breaks up the action so often. Like how they shoot down the Tie fighters from the Falcon. That’s like a side mission/turret section in a game. There’s a sneaking mission on the death star. And an escort mission. With a twist, where it turns out the princess doesn’t really need to be escorted and can handle her own. It’s really varied and nothing ever goes as planned, there’s always a twist on everything to keep it fresh and from being predictable. Nothing makes me groan more than when a game full on gives me a checklist like, now you need to find the 8 orbs. Because you know exactly what you’ll be doing for the next 10 hours. And nothing makes me rejoice more than when that chain is broken by suddenly getting two orbs at once or something like that. Why can’t I be the one that let’s the bad guys collect 7 orbs and then take them from them all at once? Put a twist on it!

Getting off tangent here but yeah
