authentic reviews and insightful interviews for inquisitive readers
Does anyone else ever imagine the Jedi summoning their sabres like Thor summons Mjol-nir? He just holds out his hand, and that hammer will tear through any obstacles between them until it’s nestled in his palm. I’m imagining a scene similar to the one in Ragnarok when Thor speaks with Dr. Strange—Rey standing in a corridor aboard the Supremacy, facing a group of Stormtroopers. As they rush for her, she thrusts her hand out to the side. The troopers stop, …
I was scrolling through writing prompts on Pinterest and came across this one. Literally the first thought in my head was, “It’s already been told. It’s called Reylo.”
Am I the only one who starts humming “Reflection” from Mulan every time I think about Rey and the mirror in the cave?
Is it just me or is Rey astoundingly intelligent and articulate for someone who received no formal education growing up? She must have been very good at self-teaching… I mean, she managed to teach herself how to pilot a starship without any practical experience, if I remember correctly… I guess where there’s a will, there’s a way… 😉 Or I could just be ignorant to a portion of her background. *shrugs*
I never noticed until yesterday that Ren’s sabre and Rey’s quarterstaff are perfectly aligned in the TFA poster. Coincidence? I think not!
There’s one part of the TFA movie that makes me cringe every time–when Ren throws Rey into a tree in the forest on Starkiller Base. A branch cracks sharply on impact, and every time I imagine it’s her spine. It horrifies me–probably supposed to. We get that weird connection between them, all those sexual tension vibes, then bam, he throws her like a ragdoll as if he doesn’t care if he hurts her as long as he can take her …
These aren’t necessarily theories, but I feel like these parts of the TFA novel (© Alan Dean Foster and LucasFilm) don’t get talked about enough. Yes, I know the movies trump the books in the canon food chain, but the books are still canon, so I will continue to obsess over them. In the novel’s interrogation scene: “Where are the others? The ones who were fighting with me?” He sniffed disdainfully. “You mean the traitors, murderers, and thieves you call …
OMG I JUST HAD AN EPIPHANY I’m sure there are people who have obsessed over this years longer than me and caught this a million years ago and it’s probably been all over the internet, but I haven’t come across it yet and I just put two and two together in my head. In the TFA novel (credit to Alan Dean Foster and LucasFilm), during Rey’s Force vision on Takodana: Then behind her, another voice. That voice. “Stay here. I’ll …
