Having a young daughter (who is still too young to see it), I literally started tearing up when the realization hit me that Rey was the force character and that the trilogy was going to be about her. I don’t know why, it just really gets me and I love that they did it so much it hurts. Her character, her story arc,…

My husband and I have each seen it twice, once with each other and we took one of our kids. We are planning to see it again as a family over Christmas vacation. I think that is something overlooked - this is a movie that the entire family can see together. I took my daughter to a morning showing on a Sunday and it was…

Interestingly, when the original cast negotiated their contracts for a New Hope, they didn’t make a ton of money up front. But Mark Hamill negotiated a deal where in addition to his base salary, he received a small percentage of all profits for merchandising. So Carrie and Harrison made decent money, but Hamill is a…

Geena Davis’ life mission is now exactly this. JJ Abrams has said that he thought of her when handling crowd scenes and the Storm Troopers, as well as keeping in mind how little girls would respond to Rey. At least someone is listening.

Some white men will be. And we’ll all be happier for a space they avoid.

The paychecks from this were disproportionate, as unknowns Daisy Ridley and John Boyega made about $200,000 apiece, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver made something more like $750,000, and Harrison Ford made something more like $20,000,000. All the actors get some sort of bonus if the film makes more than a billion dollars,…

I've already seen it twice and plan on seeing it again. I will gladly hand over my money to this franchise as long as they keep churning out good movies.

Props to J.J. Abrams for boldly casting a female Death Star this time.

Star War: Woke AF

I mean, there’s a lot of time left to get through before ep 8, so we’re going to use up everything before we’re done.

One thought I had...Sabé made it out of the prequels, didn’t she? Daisy Ridley looks like Keira Knightley. She doesn’t look like Natalie Portman. I know, that’s odd since Knightley looks like Portman, but Ridley manages it to look like one but not the other. It’s the dimple, and the jut of her jaw when she smiles.

I did. But the first time Chewie got me is when he hugged General Leia.

During the opening role I was like “yaaaaaassss! General Organa, she kept her name.” And then I was slightly sad when I realized it was because they weren’t together. But at least we got to see how much they still cared about each other. So many feels. Han and Leia have always been my favorite characters.

I don’t remember them ever actually saying they were Married. Maybe they were, but we don’t know that.

He didn’t held his own against Ren. Ren was toying with him. Finn was swinging to save his life and in the end was mortally wounded for it. If Ren had been focused instead of manic, the fight would have been over in seconds. He could have snapped Finn’s neck with a thought. Finn’s luck was that 1) Ren was out of…

YAS. Kylo is not Sith. He’s not Jedi. That’s why his lightsaber is all jacked up. Building your lightsaber was done at the completion of Jedi training. He skipped out and DIY’d it.

Yes. Chewie, poor Chewie! Then I watched the Star Wars Christmas Special and I’d had enough Wookies for a lifetime, but yeah, Chewie’s sorrow, and then he and Rey in the Falcon, looking out at the future. Ahhhhh.

they definitely have chemistry together. and Adam Driver too. Watching Rey and Ren square off was awesome.

Dude has zero light saber training and force powers yet held his own against a Sith. He also pretty kickass working the turrets and killed a bunch of stormtroopers. He’s more than a supportive rock.

I was so happy to see Leia in a position of such power. I loved Rey too, and I won’t even be mad if she winds up in love with Finn because HE’S SO CUTE.
