@Winter-Rose oh… please. I mean… yeah, don’t even start me. I have so many… there are so many… yeah.

Yep. Redemption arc all the way.

@Emma-flournoy I know. I mean, I do that (which is probably why I even thought to notice) and sometimes it gets ironic on accident, but… mm-hm. It does make one think.

… guys…

I just noticed something. The meaning of the name Ren is king. The meaning of the name Rey is king’s advisor, or more literally, queen. I even went and looked it up to double check. That is… most intriguing.

@Daeus @Emma-Flournoy @Princessfoo @That_Writer_Girl_99 @Ingridrd @LifeofKatie @winter-rose

@Princessfoo ahhh… hm. Logically and theologically faulty, but then again I don’t watch Star Wars for the theological correctness. 😛

@lifeofKatie I knowwwww. So much epicness.

@Ingridrd I know. I’m trying (unsuccessfully) to keep my head on straight so I don’t fall too hard if the film is a flop. 😛

@PrincessFoo what are grey Jedi? Pardon my ignorance, but I’m not one of those Star Wars ‘superfans’ that know everything about everything… I’m just here for the storytelling.…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate welp, you’ll have to watch it to find out, I suppose.

@xonos-darkgrate man… and I thought I was a cynic… 😛

Duly noted, however. Empire Strikes Back is my favorite of the original trilogy as well, and I was a little miffed that TFA’s plot was basically a remake of A New Hope… but I think A New Hope lent itself very easily to being remade because the plot was so generic, which is less the case…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I adore Chewie. But he is obnoxious. 😛

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I know… :'(

@Daeus haaaa… oh dear. I didn’t even think of that. *wrinkles nose* You’re right. That could be awful.
But then again maybe Chewie just found himself a pet as obnoxious as he is.

@Daeus first of all, it’s Rey and Finn. An e, and two ns. Get it right.

Second of all— yes. I noticed. And I like that. Because he seems to be doing a lot better. *nods*

@Dragon-Snapper noooooo! 🙁 🙁 🙁 I’m so sorry. I have no idea why.

@Emma-Flournoy of course. But since her son obviously couldn’t make himself do it— *gross sobbing*— I’m not quite clear on how, yet.

Ehh… I revived. 😛

@Emma-Flournoy he finds a nice sweet mechanic who also comes from a hard past and isn’t too high or great for him. *nods*

NOT TO MENTION THERE IS ‘REDEMPTION ARC’ WRITTEN ALL OVER THIS THING.
Seriously— his denial? His frantic craze to bury the past? It should have already been buried. He shouldn’t be having to struggle through this again.
But he is.
Which means…

*explodes from contained excitement and dies*

@Daeus I KNOW. I’m just… trying to play it cool here.

Trying.

Tryyyyinnnnggggg…

*deep breath* If I get too excited I’ll be let down. So. I shall not get excited.

*faints from excitement*

Okay, so the one big takeaway from this trailer… I think… NO PROMISES, BUT I THINK—! I could see a relationship between them working.
My biggest…[Read more]

@Daeus Congratulations. The world could use more of those. 😉

@bethanysinkyroses that would be @sierra-r and I have forgotten Cindy’s as well. 😛

The first thing that strikes me as I read your summary here is that you’ve focused a lot on symbolism.
That’s a good thing. But it can also be a hindrance. In my experience, when I focus too much on the symbolism of a thing, it comes out one-dimensional as only…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm no character is ever cliche if they are approached as a person with a logical reason for being who and where they are in life. It sounds like this woman has a very good reason for being ‘strong’.

At the same time, I think ‘strong woman’ is frequently misunderstood or misinterpreted. A strong woman is not a masculine woman. A…[Read more]
