Lando's family was captured and taken by the First Order. Lando connects with a woman that is roughly the same age as his child would be at this point in time, who was also captured by the First Order after birth, became a First Order Trooper, mutinied and escaped, only to be reunited with her father. From my understanding, the scene in which Lando realized that she was his daughter was edited out because it was "too on the nose". I won't be surprised if the novelization goes into further detail. |

Honestly, there's SO much happening in the film that it's easy to miss little nuggets such as this one, which is why I liked the movie SO much better during the second viewing. |

Personally, I really enjoyed (no, LOVED) the fast pacing of the first half of the film. My daughter thought it was too much and was happy that it slowed down a bit in the second half but the breakneck speed didn't bother me a bit. But yeah, there was a ton of information thrown at the audience in this film which is why I recommend at least two viewings (and I'm sure I'll watch it countless times once it's released digitally). |

I had a good time. There was a few times where I thought, "cut the shit." But a lot of it was done well. It had problems, many of which were necessitated by the hard left they decided to take after TLJ. I would have much rather have seen the realization of Johnson's story, especially after what Pants posted about his original script. All in all it was enjoyable, but fell short of what the story could have been IMO. |

So basically, it was a setup that paid off later. |

I'm glad that I did because I just sat back and enjoyed the film, far more than I did the during the initial viewing. I think the biggest thing for me the first time is that it was SO different than what I expected story-wise that my mind was playing catch-up the entire time. Since I knew what was going to happen during the second viewing, I turned off my brain and just enjoyed it for what it was and I have to say, I really, really liked it much better than the previous two Episodes. |

I knew it wasn’t right there at the end. I’m guessing it was when they were all in that “tank”. But I’m just not recalling it. I was probably distracted by the annoyance of the Poe and Finn characters (maybe it was the writing maybe it was the actors, or even both but, whatever it was I’ve never cared for them).

I don't know if it was because of JJ's direction or if Boyega felt that since his character was Force-Sensitive, he needed to be more "serious", but his "charm" in TFA, the only thing that even made his character even remotely worthwhile, IMO, was gone. He seemed stiff and wooden. Unfortunately, Oscar Isaac came off similarly, IMO, outside the scenes with Zorri Bliss, who was another under-utilized character (but not as badly under-utilized as Maz Kanata). |
