Ah, I got you now. Context is hard. 

That's not even the same movie man. You can't submit scenes from a clearly better movie as the best scene in a different movie.

That whole scene goes of for soooooo loooooong. That clip doesn't do it justice.

She probably assumed that the resistance couldn't pull it off, lowering the shields saves her ass and lures them in to be slaughtered. Give them hope so they don't run.

Or... hold it perpendicular so it's not pointed at either of us.

Personally, I feel that the ending of this movie goes on for far too long. There is so much movie before Starkiller base and so much movie after it that it starts to feel like a footnote. It stops being important and sucks impact out of the climax. I feel like Luke shouldn't have been in this movie, this movie we're building a treasure map, next movie we go find the treasure.

I like this movie. I have some quibbles here and there (hyperspacing into a planet's atmosphere? Really?) and think the pacing could have been better (The ending goes on forever, it starts sucking the impact out of the climax. I'm of the option that Luke should not have been in this movie.) but overall I'm a fan. Hell, my MOM liked this movie. They nailed the thing that really mattered, the characters and the feel. As long as they have that, they can take a few movies to get the rest dialed in.

Thanksgiving is next weekend, but I've suddenly become very busy this weekend so we might need to take a break until December.

I'm typically available Sunday evenings. I'd hate to lose you BDA.

Yup, exactly like that.
