It really brought more realism to fight scenes, anyone could die at any time.
I also loved that they did such a good job showing the sheer magnitude of things, I remember reading that was something they wanted to do this time around, the rebels running from the walker when you could actually see someone standing next to a footpad, cruiser over the city, the death star on the horizon, all very cool, and they keep the hair styles and cheesy 70s mustaches!
Loved all the little references to the other movies including the blatantly obvious guy she bumped into, same guy that had Obi cut his arm off, for the same thing
