authentic reviews and insightful interviews for inquisitive readers
So I slowed the playback during the Crait scene to try to catch some of Ben’s facial expressions to help me figure out what he might be thinking. I paused it at the precise moment he saw the Falcon and half a second before he ordered it shot down. I thought he might look surprised to see the ship, but I did not expect…this. I had to share it with you guys. I think I’m dying inside. Damn it, Rey, …
Something that just occurred to me because I’m an idiot who doesn’t notice as many details as I like to think I do: Skywalkers. They who walk in the sky. Who do we know who walks in the sky? Gods. And WJ’s theory just became that much more compelling.
A man named Ray made these .gifs just for me cuz he’s a sweetie and my hero and he’s awesome. 😀 Here’s the original post for context in case you didn’t catch it a couple weeks ago. Feel free to share but please link back to this site and name the creator as Ray. Normal Pace: Slow mo: I got caught up on a bunch of stuff this week—including Season 2 of Jessica Jones and A Series of Unfortunate Events …
Thanks again, Monica, for pointing me in this guy’s direction. Dude’s a fricken genius. His review of TLJ was fascinating, and he just posted his commentary on the TLJ novel. I encourage anyone who’s interested in Reylo or the mythology of Star Wars as a whole to listen to it. I saw little to no Reylo in the novel, but he saw Reylo and Save Ben Solo everywhere. I don’t hate the book as much now after he took me …
Amy commented on my post about Rey’s piloting. I meant to just reply there, but it got longer and longer and finally I decided it would be better to make a post of it. So this was Amy’s comment: The little I’ve read on Rey’s background in the books and the part of TLJ book that talks about how Rey has access to Ben’s training…I hate what they’re doing to her character. I always believed it was the force that …
The lovely Monica Perle responded to my post recommending Vincent Vendetta’s Reylo videos on YouTube and recommended more videos by Wayward Jedi. I checked them out. This was my experience. Wayward Jedi: I believe Kylo Ren and Rey are Anakin and Padme reborn. Okay, I know Star Wars is supposed to be mythopoetic, but that’s taking it a bit far. *starts to think about all the Pinterest posts I’ve seen drawing parallels to the prequels but …
I wish I knew how to make a gif! At 1:47:00, during the fight with the guard, Adam Driver does one of the sexiest things I think I’ve ever seen, though I’m sure he didn’t mean for it to be. So he has that bisento he stole from one of the last two guards he fights, and as the other guard comes up to duel him, he blocks that weapon using both his sabre and the stolen bisento. But the …
I just realized–when that guard catches Rey’s sabre in his whip–well, for one thing, why didn’t she just deactivate her sabre before he got his hand around her throat?–but regardless, when she gets around the guard and pulls her sabre through him, she brings the whip with her, meaning she pulls it through his body, then flings it at the curtain and sets it on fire. That is so badass. And gross. But mostly badass.
How awkward it must have been to have a camera shoved up your nose. I mean, I love the shot, but thinking about it from Adam’s pov… I can’t stop giggling.
The timing doesn’t add up to me. How did Snoke and Ben know anything about the transports or Crait? DJ doesn’t make his deal until long after Rey and Ren are already in the throne room, or so it was presented to us. We don’t see Snoke get informed of the development, so how did he know about the transports, and how did he know when they actually launched (bc they didn’t even launch until after Finn and Poe were …
