Yes... Perfect...

to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be

I wonder if the cast won’t name themselves like Bertrand’s Bells, but will name themselves something with Bell in it as a homage to him. I’m sure someone else will come up with something more clever, but The Bell Tolls, Bell Ringers, Hells Bells, something like that

This is one of the better reviews I've read I think

the last jedi. many spoilers.

Idek where to start with this one, I did enjoy it! But I was left very confused and conflicted my pals!! Gotta say it!! I’m going to give my impressions below, don’t yell at me

Things I liked:

- The 10 minute or so opening sequence was exciting and funny and devastating and kind of reminded me of the opening to Star Trek (2009). Except this ended worse for the rebels obviously

- Rose as a character was sweet and kind and brave and I liked her a lot, plus Kelly Marie Tran is pure sunshine

- Poe and Leia’s relationship, which was so clearly surrogate mother/son and very moving. He deserved her, Kyle did not

- I’ll just get this out of the way - Poe looked fucken amazing the whole movie, showstopping, incredible, I was blessed

- I loathe fangirls’ obsession with the whiny mediocre looking genocidal white man who is repeatedly called ‘boy’, like as a trope, but objectively kyle ron’s arc in this movie was actually pretty fascinating to watch! Very complex. Just remove the weird undertones in scenes with rey please

- Admiral Holdo was strong and clever and brave and I really, really adored her in this movie. Laura Dern is a TREASURE and further proof the women in this movie are ICONS. Flying through the Star Destroyer at light speed, jfc it was stunning, she was so selfless. I’m emo again

- Canto Bight looked poppin. Loved seeing the aristocratic side of the galaxy, even though it honestly felt like I was watching a different film for those scenes lol. The casino was very… familiar. Like as a setting. Idk if that makes sense it just wasn’t quite as kooky as I was expecting, they were even wearing tuxedos and clinking average wine glasses

- The salt plains were fricking GORGEOUS okay the battle of speeders and ships leaving what looked like bloodstains, it was such an extraordinary visual, especially because of the massacre of the resistance population. Honestly. Looking forward to the gifsets

- ‘Lifting rocks’ nice, NICE

- Luke dressed in black, slick as hell with that lightsaber silhouetted in front of a dying sun and looming AT ATs…. You better believe I shed a damn tear!!

- Rey and Kyle fighting the praetorian guard looked pretty sick, gotta admit that. Again, Snoke was ugly as hell but his whole aesthetic was *chef’s kiss*

- Benicio del Toro didn’t have as big a role as I thought, and it’s a pity, because he was great. Like, predictably villainous but hot asf and COOL. Hope he comes back. Unless he died. Did he? That wasn’t clear

- “You’re scum.”

  “Rebel scum.”

- R2D2 playing the Leia hologram message from the first movie. Oh boy. Everyone in the theater made sounds, we were shook

- That ending with Luke looking at the twin suns…. listen I’m a thug but my eyes leaked. That really was our lil farm boy who wanted power converters and who looked at Han with stars in his eyes and who wanted to make his sister proud and who loved a pair of sassy droids and who dreamed about leaving his nowhere town to be something great, and now he’s gone, and to that freaking score. I wasn’t chill.

Things I wasn’t so hype about:

- Finn was just going to ditch the resistance and POE to save himself and Rey. I get it, it makes sense, it’s an arc, Finn’s still my son, he’s heroic and he grows so much. But I’m a whiny asshole and it bummed me out lol

- Any hint of this godforsaken idea that is r*ylo just shortens my lifespan. I hated the bizarre shirtless scene. Their whole ‘connection’ led to good character development but I hated it happening. The resolution of her giving him the metaphorical finger from the ship of the father he murdered healed me though, fear not

- Phasma’s 15 minutes of fame was more like 30 seconds. Why bring her back at all, it was so brief. With gwendoline christie being in the press tour so much I just assumed she was going to ascend the ranks of villainy. Oh well

- Was it just me or was Leia like… diminished here? She spent half the movie unconscious. It makes me REALLY sad because I remember what the cast said about how the third film was supposed to be hers, like TLJ was Mark’s and TFA was Harrison’s. I wonder what they would have done to conclude the trilogy.

- The fact that there were like 20 rebels left at the end of the movie just made me so miserable. My god. All of the original films’ rebels and the Rogue One rebels and…. we’re left with barely enough people to make up two even volleyball teams. Like. Not a criticism of the film really but it just made all that effort in those movies hurt knowing that this was all they had to show for it.

- The imagery of Snoke manhandling Rey and making her ‘come closer’ fucking got to me, especially as it came on the heels of Kyle doing something similar in TFA. Must we do this, every time. Must we

- BB-8 was sort of… too useful, lmao how many times did he save main characters? Deus Ex BB? I love the little robotic football but it was convenient and after the third time, not very cute anymore

- Finn and Rose’s little side quest annoyed me, I’m gonna be real honest here. It just felt really, really weird, them (particularly Finn) being kind of swept away by the regalia of this casino and then ending up in a giant space goat car-chase type scene, meanwhile Poe and Leia have 5 hours to live and Rey’s being turned over to the First Order, you know? It seemed like they were filling time, or something… the movie felt like a 6-part TV series crammed into one movie, like there were a lot of things going on with different people and they all had different, kind of jarring tones. Like Poe’s in the trenches of a war movie, Rey’s in a psychological drama, Finn and Rose are in a comedy action heist caper ft. an adorable sidekick.

- I don’t get Finn and Rose together. I don’t. They had a sweet friendship, but I always assumed Finn and Rey would be the Couple (yeah I wanted stormpilot too but we live in a crap heteronormative world). Not sure what this means for Ep 9 since Rey didn’t seem bothered by Finn’s clear attachment to mah girl Rose…

- Poe, a queer icon, being portrayed as a straight in this film, irked me. You know what I mean, the gay vibes were not as potent here and it was really disturbing. Not sure what it means but it wasn’t good, I don’t like being patronised

- WHERE DID FINN PUT THE JACKET ONCE HE CHANGED INTO HIS FIRST ORDER UNDERCOVER GETUP. IS IT GONE, DO I NEED TO CRY

Things I’m neutral about:

- Rey’s parents being nobodies. I lowkey saw this coming, and it’s a pretty innovative idea, to have Kyle be the last Skywalker…. to end this dynasty, which has been fairly shitty. 2 out of 4 were murderous dicks. Not great stats

- Snoke could’ve been aunt beru in disguise and I wouldn’t have cared, honestly he was always just Snoke to me, no conspiracy

—-

This movie was dope. It did not fulfill my expectations, which I’m being told by multiple articles and tweets from film critics is apparently a super awesome thing. I too like critiquing film for being edgy and new and different, and in terms of artistic value it’s important - especially for a franchise so well known for tropes. But I’m a simple fuck who just finished exams and a stressful as shit year… I wanted to see Poe and Finn cuddle (platonic or not), Rey straight up kick the ass of Snoke and/or Kyle, Luke to lightsaber-battle someone with the wow-factor of Darth Vader at the end of Rogue One (which would involve actual contact lol), and nobody to die or be wrong, or like, straight

Anyway. A good film. Rian did a great job, and it doesn’t deserve all the vitriol it’s getting. I am fascinated to see where it ends up, I gotta say. Jesus what the fuck will I be doing in December of 2019 though, that’s the real question
