Don't try to bring science into Star Wars, if you want that go watch Star Trek or something, space in Star Wars is all about "pew pew" and explosions.

I think those scientific explanations are a bit of a stretch to rehabilitate scenes that were written to look cool, not to be scientifically accurate. The whole space chase is kind of silly, however I wont hold it against the movie anymore, because all Star Wars space battles are pretty silly really.

I too also watched the movie for the second time again, while I liked it a bit better than the first time I watched it, I do think it's a film with issues, namely that it's too damn long, that's mainly Canto Bite(s) fault, but it means the movie lacks the rewatachbility of the Force Awakens. Again my favourtie parts are still the Luke, Rei, Kylo arcs.

I noticed a few extra touches and details I missed the first time, mostly the Falcon losing it's radar again, also that nice little touch where Hux is in the Throne room after the battle and reaches for his pistol when Kylo is momentarily unconscious.

While I'm not super excited to see the next one, I'm curious to where they will take the characters.
