I am now 100% unable to get Star Wars out of my mind.
I’m one of lifes big nerds. Science fiction, magic, people with swords and capes? Dragons? Robots? Sweeping soundtracks? Sign me up. And Star Wars has been a much beloved property since my older sister showed it to me and our brother when she was babysitting us one day. I was in love, and nothing (not even freaking Jar Jar Binks) would diminish my love.
But, you know how you think you can appreciate something and love it and feel comfortable that you have thought all the thoughts and loved all the love for it? Well, the Last Jedi has proven me wrong. I didn’t expect this film to make me love the franchise more, but it has, and I’m turning the film over and over in my mind like a river stone, practically aching for the next one to come out.
Eeek. What do you mean, 2019? Eeeeeek!
Its a good thing there are lots of other movies between now and then for me to geek out to. (I’m looking at you, Infinity War).
Which is a very off topic way of saying that I drank this tea and thought about the Last Jedi, and enjoyed its spicy qualities while doing so.

I finally saw Rogue One the other day and was actually quite disappointed. I think my problem is watching episodes IV-VI all over and over again during my childhood made me set the bar too high with these subsequent releases.

@ Tabby- Agree 10000%
My son was about 5 when The Phantom Menace came out. It was perfect. Young rebel hero, silly aliens that made me giggle. I loved watching him watch it … and then pretend it with his action figures over and over and over. For that reason, I am one of the seven people planet-wide that will always love Jar Jar and company.
It’s great how much they promoted strong women characters in this film as something other than a love interest or sex object. I loved Holdo and wish we got to see more of her! I also really like how tantrum filled Kylo is. It’s the perfect contrast to the Jedi training of controlling your emotions and not giving way to impulse.
Agree! I love how this series is being set up, and the contrasts its showing is brilliant. I am totally in love with it.
