    We had this thread in the TFA forum (started exactly 1 year ago) so let's get the R1 version cranking.

    Since I get to go first I can be Captain Obvious. The Vader assault aka the Corridor of Carnage is right now my favorite scene in any movie ever. It's some feat when you take the greatest movie villain ever & give him his greatest scene ever (IMO).

    Have to say I loved Mendelsohn's work as Krennic. Even though they only tapped about half of his potential. See Animal Kingdom & you'll know what I mean. Some fav lines:

    "Oh look it's Lyra come back from the dead. It's a miracle"
    "Well...you have to start somewhere"

    Almost all of his scenes were awesome. Unfortunately they could've used him better in the last act.

    "These are prisoners?" and the rest of K-2's schtick in that moment. (Please help me out with the rest of the line)

    Something like "These are...prisoners? Yes these are my prisoners...& I'm going to imprison them...in prison". [Cassian speaks] "Silence!" [hits him] "& there's a fresh one waiting for if you mouth off again".

    Vader starring in a slasher film at the end. Forget the Imperial March, they should have sprinkled in Carpenter's Halloween theme.

    I got goosebumps when you could hear Vader breathing and then he ignited his Lightsaber and he stood there all menacing. He then proceeded to do his thing.

    I was in awe actually.

    The return of Vader's ANH theme, the most underused music in all of Star Wars

    "Be sure not to choke on your aspirations"

    Mon and Bail discussing Obi-Wan

    The final shot of Jyn and Cassian

    K-2 calling Cassian ONLY by name (in the trailers it was "captain")
    "Make ten men feel like a hundred"
    "I don't need luck I have you"

    Tarkin. Just simply Tarkin. And the fact that Krennic's biggest dream (to meet the Emperor) never came true.

    It's a small scene but when the rebel fleet arrived out of hyperspace that really took my breath away. You go to the movies to see scenes like that in iMax 3D.

    "Hope"

    So simple, but it pumped me up and made me pop in ANH right when I got home.

    Scenes
    Chirrut Imwe's first scene when he meets Jyn Erso. He spoke about her necklace and established himself as the most interesting character in the film.
    The hologram scene where there is the reveal that Galen Erso is a double agent.
    Orson Krenic and Galen Erso's opening scene.

    Lines
    "Make 10 men feel like a hundred."
    "The force is strong. Take hold of this moment."
    "I am one with the force. The force is with me." (although repeated a bit too much; slower/meditative would have been ok)

    Would Have Been Better
    Use Chirrut Imwe for better purpose at the end. Have him surprisingly tap into stronger force powers, maybe with temporary sight restoration, to the surprise of Baze Malbus, who finally becomes a believer in the force.
    The score was incredibly poor by Star Wars standards. Go back to more basic, but good, melodies and refer back to them in different ways.
    A few more lighter scenes to relieve the tension and develop the characters better.

    What Bothered Me
    CGI of Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia was way too cartoony.
    James Earl's voice sounded way too old/weak/frail.

    Vader's scenes were excellent, he was used perfectly.

    I wish we'd gotten a little more of Krennic, but he was fun to watch throughout.

    Cassian's moral conflict as he aimed at Galen.

    I can't remember the actual dialogue, darn it, but I loved the part where Jyn is given the gun and K-2SO tells Cassian the odds of her shooting them.
