Movie is still piff to me, some scenes are a bit clunky/repetitive in the beginning but there's just so much piff to keep it going.
Any Hannibal/Danny Rayburn scene is gold, K2 is possibly the illest non-human sidekick Star Wars has ever had aside from Chewie, the Death Star blowing up Jeddha looks scary as fukk - then we're already almost at the third act
For me it's EASILY better than: Force Awakens, Phantom Menace, Clones and even Jedi.
It's not fukking with some of the stories or scenes in those movies, but overall it's better.
