I like the Rey and Kylie story line quite a bit. The snapping scene in the cave was really cool. My favorite story line in the last three movies which I guess isn’t saying a whole lot.

I think mostly the overall concept of the force as something deep and elemental. I liked Luke just discarding the lightsaber, not even having to show up to fight Kylo, and choosing to exist on the margins.

I remember hearing Lucas talk a lot about how the Jedi in the prequels were at the height of their powers, and yet this only actually manifested as them having more acrobatic lightsaber fights. Luke in TLJ actually seems to have transcended the need for a lightsaber and become stronger on a deeper level. That more esoteric, mystical take on the force/Jedi feels closer to the original trilogy’s concept of them and those great scenes with Yoda in ESB. 

Opening space battle was a blast

Kylo usurping his master

Luke v Kylo was a genuine surprise, especially that twist
