re: The Last Jedi: Non-Miserable Audience Discussion. Spoilers.

Loved the end of the movie. Didn't even catch that the kid used the force to grab the stick but that was due to being second row from the screen in an Imax and some things were just blurred for me. But I thought that they did a great job of establishing what type of folks, when given a little bit of hope, can grow to make a difference in the rebellion (even going back to TFA with Finn's beginnings and now he's proud of being rebel scum). Luke's monologue of "Today the rebellion is reborn" combined with the ragtag group of heroes on the Falcon, and the kids at the end, was the most "Star Wars" feeling we've gotten since the original trilogy.
