Reply to comment by TinButtFlute in has anyone walked out a movie due to a misleading opening? by LegoMong
Hard disagree.
When I watched The Last Jedi I wondered how they were going to kill off Leia. Then when they did it I thought it was perfect.
Only for her to come back alive and Marry Poppins back to the ship.
I looked around the theater to see if this was really happening.
I DID NOT need to finish that movie

I agree. I've always thought the Star Wars universe has solely been grounded in reality.

I watched Martin Scorsese’s JFK documentary when I was like 13 years old with my friends in the cinema. It’s 2 hours long which doesn’t seem much these days but we it was the early 90’s and we were from a village in the UK countryside and didn’t even know much about JFK. I stayed for the whole thing even though my mates left as like everyone that age they were more into Arnie and Stallone action movies. I don’t know why I stayed but felt it was very high brow of me at the time. The closest I get to leaving the cinema is falling asleep. I watched Saving Private Ryan on Magic Mushrooms and to say that was an intense opening scene is probably the understatement of the year. Mushrooms allow you to become more emotionally engaged with whatever you are looking at as I found out to my horror once when I watched a tourist get dragged out the water at the full moon party on an island in Thailand. I spent an hour tripping balls watching them try to revive this German guy with a mullet whose belly was heavily swollen from water ingestion. The medical support on the island isn’t exactly first world and people were screaming for an ambulance which took an hour to arrive. I’m pretty sure he was dead already but at least I stayed to the end.

There wasn't any reason to do it either.
The actress died. This was the perfect opportunity. It was symbolic and poetic.
I refused to believe my eyes

I'm with you. I actually felt nauseous in the theatre. Low-res digital double Leia just tweening on back into the ship. It was so cheesy and disrespectful.
