On another fandoms note. Star Wars: The Last Jedi... so damn good. I’ve seen it twice and due to body stupidity still really need to see it again. So opening night about 10min in I needed to pee, but this is Star Wars, new Star Wars and the aisles are packed and I’m not gonna get up. So I pretty much watched the whole thing battling my bladder’s insistence so while I thoroughly enjoyed it I watched it very uncomfortably. Now I did use the toilet maybe 40-45min before the movie stared (not before searing, not before previews started but before the actual start of the movie) so I don’t know what was up which is frustrating. Second viewing did not have the same issue but my husband and I were dumb and there was a 1:20am showing and we got out of work st 12:30am an decided to go. My body also only let me sleep 4hours Friday morning. And I tried to go back to sleep and I tried napping before my night shift but no success. I was awake when we got there but as soon as I was sitting I got comfy and then it was a struggle to keep my eyes open.... so I was awake for all my favor wow parts but nodded out fully got maybe 10-15 min worth total and learned my lesson quite well. Well my husband and I both did because we slept in really late this morning and he didn’t have a lot of time before he had to go to work and I was supposed to do a bunch of Christmas shopping at some not super close by places and just today overall has been a busy other than I got to see Star Wars again before sleeping for the night/morning.
Enough about my actuate experience though...
- I’ve never felt Reylo so hard and I’m still not sure I’m into it. I know a lot of people wrote it after TFA but other than some of the AU stuff it was usually just the sort of stories I don’t like to read and there was just bad relationship dynamic and it was a big no for me. I really hope all the fans liked their connection in TLJ because I was feeling it and i now kinda want to read all those what if it had gone the other way fics for both of them or Rey clinging to the ideal that she can truly save him and all that because I don’t believe the cannon is going to give us any of these stories. I mean enough on the shipping fandom as a fan of the characters in their own rights I fucking loved their buddy fight scene. Probably my favorite scene of the whole film. I felt so hard for Rey being disappointed though by Kylo’s choice of path but oh man that scene was so ducking good.
- I’m still not giving up on stormpilot. I only have to make that statement because my husband believes Rose is going to be the ending of its possibility. I mean so what did Rose kissed Finn and said the whole line about saving the things you love, it’s not like he was into it. And I mean when Finn was giving his little speach about needing to go out and stop the cannon yes Rose was looking at him in a certain way....the exact fuckingsame way Poe was! Still pretty damn convinced Poe is seriously into Finn even if Finn still doesn’t realize it yet. But also thanks to film makers for the leaky suit scene. I know it was fan service being thrown at us and I genuinely do appreciate it and look forward now to any and all future fan fic that reference it.
-I wasn’t sure it was possible to love Poe Dameron more than I already did, but god yes it is possible because I’m beaming so much more about him. I loved him in Force Awakens. Like fell in Love hard core and smitten. Then he’s being written so well in comics that following his little pre-TFA stories helped my love along more but this movie and just the scene where he sees BB-8 again and like pets him like he’s a dog and just the expression of how happy he was to see his droid and I lost it over him even more.
- Luke was amazing. Pretty much everything I wanted. For all records, I was in love with Luke Skywalker from a very young age and for a very long time. I was a bit bummed he pulled an Obi-Wan but I feel like that was how it was eventually always how it would go.
There’s totally more feelings I have about it but these were the big and fresh points. Other than someone who hadn’t seen it yet seemed to feel their Kylux love may be dashed but oh man no from a fan writing perspective we can all totally still continue to ignore the obvious that it will never be cannon and now have more fuel to light our fan shipping flames though. This is just such a great new chapter in Star Wars though guys and I think I will end up needing to see it before it comes out for purchase even more times than I made it out for TFA.
