^^^^ THIS.
no spoilers: tros review
I saw the rise of skywalker a few hours ago.
I’m so heartbroken.
not because of the movie.
I’m heartbroken for the “fans” who didn’t allow themselves to enjoy it because it was so beautiful and exciting and stunning and bittersweet and yeah, flawed but overall just so amazing.
and you’ll never get to experience all of that. there’s no second first viewing. this rotten experience is all you have.
the last, I don’t know, and hour of the movie my heart raced none stop. I was an emotional ball of gasps, sobs, laughs, cheers and tears. after the movie was over, my friend and I just sat there, as people filed out, just gasping for air.
you call yourselves star wars fans and yet forget what it’s truly about and what it stands for: exciting space action, flawed plot, sometimes sloppy execution, fairytales, love and amazing score. that’s it. that’s star wars. and that’s what the movie delivered.
I was going to say I loved every second of it, but that’s not true. there were things I fundamentally disagreed with. some things just didn’t make sense.
but that’s star wars for you.
this movie had an extra level of difficulty since they had to write the story around unused footage of a deceased actress.
they did the best they could.
I’m sure at some point my brain will tell me to address the flaws but right now they’re nothing compared to all the emotions movie hit me with. I’m still processing.
every few minutes a scene from the movie pops into my head and corresponding emotion hits me like a train.
they delivered a film I’ll never forget.



love that rose canonically reads the manuals for everything and rey is like ripping wires out that inconvenience her. [ID in alt text]

anyway here's milf reyrose [ID in alt text] (twitter)
I can’t help comparing the VOLTRON ships to the new Star wars film’s ships! (Its not how the characters act necessarily, just kind certain parallels I see) (also tiny spoilers)
I feel like Allurance was like ReyxFinn bc there was potential romance then they were “Nope! But they’re besties tho!”
And Klance is like Poe×Finn because most people ship it, they have limited screen time together, some of the cast members ship it, but the fandoms are like “is it gonna happen??? Please??”
Obviously Lotura is Reylo bc I didn’t fucking think they were actually gonna do it, but it’s like do I trust him or??? Also that holding hands thing??? MY HEART!
Pidge and Hunk are like FinnxRose, not only b3cause the big cinnamon role and the badass cute tiny girl, but they just understand each other so well and I feel like are the least problematic??
I’m not saying Zarkon is like Han Solo AT ALL! But Lotor did kill his dad a lot like one Kylo Ren.. (I know Kylo did a BAD thing and Lotor did a good thing in their acts– I’m just saying)
I feel like Shallura could be like Han and Leia because, ya know, they both are leaders and stuff happens and they feel distant but you can tell they care for each other so much??
I’m sorry if these are innacurate idk just how I feel.
this happened in the movie right

convo on the millennium falcon approx 2 minutes post tlj
Poe: so rey! you and Luke came straight from ahch-to to crait to save us from kylo ren? thanks for that you both are the real mvps!!! Now let’s figure out how we are going to take down supreme leader snoke and the first order with like 10 people

Poe: excuse me
Finn: EXCUSE ME
Billie Lourd: how were his abs
Poe: I … also need this information
Leia: that sure sounds like my idiot son
Leia: …maybe he isn’t completely lost
Leia: huh
Rey: anyways when I went to see him, Kylo turned on snoke and murdered him and then we killed snoke’s guards together and it was super, super hot
Finn: WHAT
Poe: what
Leia: wait wtf the supreme leader is dead???
Poe: this changes things
Leia: like potentially our entire strategy
Finn: so who’s in charge of the first order now?
Rey: yeah about that
Leia: …
Finn: …
Poe: …
Rey: …
Rey: kylo wanted to tear everything down and start fresh and kinda offered me the galaxy and then freaked out when I didn’t go for it
Rey: I mean at least buy me dinner first??? amirite?????
Leia: …
Finn: …
Poe: …
Rey: and so yeah near as I can tell he said fuck it and crowned himself supreme leader after I took off in snoke’s escape craft
Rey: (like a boss)
Finn: …
Poe: huh
Leia: why am i not surprised
Rey: so uh yeah I think those are all my big updates. what a day right?
Poe: hold on
Rey: yeah what’s up
Poe: can you still talk to kylo ren through the force or whatever
Rey: unfortunately yes
Rey: he was here just a minute ago actually
Finn: UM
Leia: …. so while you were gone most of the resistance straight perished since we got tracked through lightspeed
Leia: we just barely managed to shake them thanks to luke’s stunt
Leia: are you telling us that the new supreme leader will be able to track us down immediately thanks to you
Rey: nah it’s chill
Finn: why???
Rey: we can’t see each other’s surroundings
Poe: seriously?
Rey: only each other
Rey: (stares dreamily)
Rey: oh shit speak of the devil
Rey: ben your mom says hi
Kylo Ben: I HAVE NO MOTHER SNARL SNORT
Rey: Leia, he says he’s very sorry for everything he’s done and as atonement he promises to dismantle the first order from the inside
Kylo Ben: (tears off cape in fury and then puts it on again)
Finn: um
Poe: umm
Leia: I need like 8 drinks
Rey: also Finn, Kylo says he’s sorry for almost killing you. And he’s sorry for force-torturing you, Poe.
Kyle Ben: NO r e y you’re - you’re lying! Tell them I will destroy YOU and THEM and all oF IT!!!!!!!
Rey: also Leia he says you look beautiful with your hair like that
Kylo Ben: (SCREAMS)

by popular request, more of the better star wars that exists in my head ft. old dinluke [ID in next reblog!]
I feel like people will get mad but idc
Rey is a Skywalker and heckken loves Rose Tico
Ben Solo should have been named Bail because that’s dope and has a love hate relationship with Hux
Finn has a last name of Dameron because he’s married to Poe.
Let me start by saying that I apologize for the coming post. I know a lot of people love the Star Wars sequel trilogy and characters, but I’m angry about this right now.
Disclaimer: This argument is based solely on the movies, NOT Resistance/comics/books/etc.!!
As a Star Wars fan, I am very disappointed in the sequel trilogy. There are many problems with it.
The fact that J.J. Abrams admitted that the trilogy would have been better if they had a plan
The three movies are not very cohesive in telling one story/there seems to be no one superior goal in mind to accomplish by the end of the trilogy
The characters development is nearly nonexistent and honestly pathetic
The characters had so much wasted potential
The amount of fan service was astounding and it still doesn’t make up for the other atrocities of this trilogy
The story wasn’t very compelling
Making money was the primary objective
There are many good things in the trilogy and things that I liked but overall it is my least favorite part of Star Wars. It makes me angry simply because its so repetitive and confusing.
Was Snoke a Sith Lord? If he was, why wasn’t it made clear to the audience in the movies he is supposed to be a major villain in? If he wasn’t, then bringing Palpatine back breaks the Sith Rule of Two. How did he rise to power? Who is he? Where was he throughout the franchise?
These are questions about one character, that anyone might have after just watching the movies.
Who formed the First Order and when? How did it become as powerful as the Empire? How was the New Republic reduced to almost nothing over a couple decades?
The storytelling is so incomplete. There are so many gaps and plot holes.
The antagonist across the trilogy is whiny, not very intimidating, has a poorly developed origin story, and questionable motives that are so vague that it is difficult to inderstand his reasoning and beliefs. In the end, he is redeemed only to die after some slight consideration and persuasion from the main protagonist. So he rethinks his entire life and trauma because a woman told him he could do better? That’s not how real disturbed people think…
The main villain of the third movie wasn’t even present (or even known to be alive) for the first two movies in the trilogy. The movie starts and all of the sudden “somehow…palpatine returned.” That’s it?? That’s the explanation? How did he survive? How did he get to Exegol? How did all of those star destroyers get on Exegol? The Empire was gone, his army was dismantled, few lotalists remained. Was he cloned? Because honestly, I’ve seen the movie several times and I’m still confused. It doesn’t make any sense.
Not only is Palpatine alive, but the main protagonist is his granddaughter. So much for ‘you don’t have to be somebody to be important, as long as you work hard, you can achieve anything.’ Now Rey has force abilities that she never had before (or that didn’t even exist in the franchise before this)?
Rey’s character is so tragic because she had so much potential and it was wasted. She was abandoned as a child and is forced to scavenge around dangerous wreckage to make a living supporting herself on one of the worst planets in the galaxy. Does she hold that against her parents? No, she hopes that her parents will come back for her. She gets anxious when she’s been gone for a while because she’s afraid they’ll finally come when she’s away. She never let herself become bitter or hateful. She was hopeful, innocent, and passionate. However, her character develops to make it her personal mission to take on the First Order and Kylo Ren if it’s the last thing she does and she’s plagued by stubbornness and self awareness of her power and strength as a Jedi.
This annoys me deeply. Her character never really progressed from this from TLJ to ROS either. It’s almost like its a different person from TFA Rey, despite TLJ immediately following TFA in the timeline.
I’d also like to point out that Poe’s character was also shit on by the writers, especially in ROS. For the first two and a half movies his entire character can be summed up as: I’m a hotshot flyboy; I want to fight no matter the consequences; I fly X-wings; I have an adorable droid that I am highly protective over. That’s it. And then, in ROS, suddenly its revealed that he was a former criminal and drug smuggler?? Poe? Poe Dameron?? What?
How about Finn’s character only being in the background to yell “REYYYY” whenever she puts herself in harms way (which is often). The amazing lightsaber duel against Kylo Ren? In which Finn held his own for a decently long time considering he had little to no training with a weapon of that kind against someone proficient in the ways of the dark side (which typically made force users more ruthless in their attacks)? Doesn’t matter. The hints of his force-sensitivity? What hints? Finn, a Jedi?? Hahaha, no.
Dont even get me started on Rose. Great backstory, sister sacrificed herself for the cause during a desperate hour and saved the day, but in doing so left her grieving sister behind. Beautiful. Rose was such a big part of TLJ’s plot and then she’s just kinda there for ROS...it’s sad. Not to mention the romance between Rose and Finn that was never developed??
You know what, all of the protagonists were done dirty, as well as their actors. It’s clear what Disney’s goal was: making money, and lots of it. How do we convince people to buy movie tickets/merchandise/toys/etc.?? Well, let’s cast some minority actors/actresses to make people think they’re going to be represented only for the white man‘s character to be the most developed by the end of the trilogy. Daisy Ridley (a woman), John Boyega (a Black man), Oscar Issac (a Latino man), and Kelly Marie Tran (an Asian woman) were cast as protagonists. And who got the most attention/praise/development? Adam Driver (a White man). Dont get me wrong, Adam Driver is a great actor and he did an amazing job with what he was given, but really?
Even the returning characters were poorly handled. Luke’s character development is controversial so I’ll stay away, but Han?? So they decided after ROTJ that Han was the type to leave his wife and son to travel with his best friend?? Uh ok
The sequel trilogy’s plot, if you can even say that, is so repetitive to the original trilogy it’s embarrassing. A force-sensitive main protagonist, whose parents abandoned them and left them to live on a desert planet to avoid the truth about their family heritage, met an old guy that was significant earlier in his life, went on a quest with him which effectively roped them into fighting the fascist dictatorship controlling the galaxy that they previously didn’t give a shit about, teamed up with an ex-imperial deserter along the way, was trained by a different old guy that was also significant earlier in his life but decided to exile himself and live in seclusion because some of his padawans were murdered by the Skywalker villain, learned the truth about their family and the darkness within their blood, became a great unofficial Jedi knight anyways, destroyed weapons capable of obliterating entire planets, and eventually defeated Palpatine by teaming up with the main Skywalker antagonist that sacrificed themselves to save the main protagonist’s life. Sound familiar?
It’s truly sad. If you look into George Lucas’ plan for the sequel trilogy before he sold Star Wars to Disney, you’ll find that it’s much better different from what we got and it is actually pretty similar to what The Mandalorian is trying to portray. (Maul was brought back from the dead to be the sequel trilogy’s big bad guy but we never got it)
