The escape to Jakku was cool, the escape from Jakku was even cooler. The Falcon was wonderfully introduced and it's great that we saw Rey thrashing it around rather than being able to master it immediately. The chase sequences were breathtaking, with sharp manoeuvres and tight turns keeping us on the edge of our seats. It was the earliest major throwback to the original trilogy, with Finn grappled with the turret seat as Rey wrestled to stay in control. It was a fantastic sequence, of course aided by BB-8's mere presence, and it got a whole lot better once they were drawn in by the original owners of the Falcon. They're home.
