My thoughts on Willow
FOLKS I WATCHED A THING AND I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS! THEY WILL BE SUMMARIZED HERIN!
My three big thoughts:
They named the show after the worst character.
Boorman and Graydon’s backs must hurt from carrying the entire show.
I am madly in love with the gay bbs.
PART A:
WHY IS WILLOW SUCH AN ACTUAL DEMONIC WASTE OF OXYGEN IN WARWICK DAVIS’S BODY! WHY HAVE YOU CORRUPTED R2D2 SO? HOLY SHIT I DIDN’T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE TO DISLIKE A CHARACTER MORE THAN I DISLIKE DONALD TRUMP BUT HERE WE ARE! Okay, now that I’m done SCREAMING, I hate this man so much. He has two reasons for being in the show. A) Nostalgia B) Exposition. The original movie came out in 1988, aka. Before I Was Born. I, thus, have no nostalgia, and can see through the lies to the rotting corpse beneath. I don’t know much about Warwick Davis, I haven’t seen his other work, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying that he got stuck with a bad script. And it is truly horrendous. Willow is absolutely AWFUL to EVERYONE around him. Even when he’s praising people he’s putting them down. One line to Elora sticks out to me in particular. “We’re finally making progress. You MIGHT make a sorceress yet.” Like, dear God, what is his problem? He didn’t even help! Willow is profoundly unlikeable. Luckily Elora calls him out later for having a stick up his ass. <3 He doesn’t improve. And the EXPOSITION! Oh Lord the exposition. He’s a walking textbook. The show will finally start picking up steam and then someone will say “what’s this?” And we’ll have to sit through a wikipedia article. The worst part about it is that it could be so much better! At one point we sit through a wikipedia article, and Boorman, Based Chad that he is, summarizes the whole thing in two sentences with twice the personality. And this neatly segways into our next point:
PART TWO:
Graydon and Boorman are the MVPs. Boorman is an absolute riot, and Graydon is the beating heart of the show. Boorman is very clearly the comedic relief, but he’s also got legitimate plot relevance and he’s super memorable (Honorable mention for Hubert the woodswoman. Never forget.) He’s Jack Sparrow on steroids with a better beard. And his funniest bits are all clowning on Kit and Jade, which makes their reactions that much funnier. I won’t include them for spoilers sake, but holy SHIT. If you know you know. And also Graydon? Best boi, my love, my life. Just objectively the best character. He deserves the world. AND to get the girl, but that’s another shitpost. I didn’t expect much of him because of his introduction as the betrothed prince. I was SO WRONG. He’s clever, well-developed, and hilarious in his own right. If we MUST have walking a textbook, said walking textbook should be Graydon. His backstory makes sense, and his crush on Elora even more so. I haven’t gotten all the way through the show, but it seems like she’s in this for Arik, and it breaks my heart. FOR WHAT ELORA? FOR WHY? ARIK DOES NOT DESERVE YOU! And since we’re still talking about Graydon, I have to share my favorite moment. I’m watching this show with my sister, and she and I got a real kick out of it. About halfway through episode four Graydon has gotten very ill for plot reasons. He’s sneezing and wheezing all over the place. Kit and Elora are having a pissing contest, and you can tell they’re being serious. And then, AND THEN! Graydon, out of focus and sick, pops into frame for a split second like a goddamn whack-a-mole, lets out the most pathetic cough mankind has ever heard, and VANISHES. He won my heart instantly with that one. It’s INCREDIBLE. Literally as iconic as that one stormtrooper running into a doorframe in Star Wars IV.
PART D:
Kit and Jade’s dynamic is maybe my favorite thing ever. I can understand the people who say Kit is annoying, but I disagree, mainly because she is juxtaposed with he-who-must-not-be-named. Their character arcs neatly complement each other in a way that really scratches my brain right. Like???? One is learning to be supportive and humble while the other’s reforming her whole identity??? SCREECH!! You guys it is SO GOOD!! And that one scene in the woods???? Kill me now, nothing will ever beat Them. Also, I love the casual queer representation from Disney. Corporations are finally starting to figure out that there’s a whole demographic that fosters strong fanbases and has NO CONTENT. This combined with The Owl House gives me hope for the future.
TLDR: Watch Willow with a friend you can laugh with. You won’t regret it.

Профессор одного из немецких университетов, и по совместительству фанат франшизы «Звездные войны» (Star wars), Hubert Zitt нашел необычное применение своему увлечению – он стилизовал куполообразную обсерваторию Национальной Научной Ассоциации под знаменитого дроида R2-D2. Творческий эксперимент, который профессор воплотил своими руками, определенно удался – образ робота получился мгновенно узнаваемым. #обсерватория #дизайн #стиль #звездныевойны #r2d2 #творчество #стритарт #своимируками #идеи #вдохновение #starwars #fastoryru http://bit.ly/2UqBdud

German Professor Who Is Hardcore Star Wars Fan Repaints Observatory As R2-D2

German Professor Who Is Hardcore Star Wars Fan Repaints Observatory As R2-D2

In a galaxy not so far away, a German professor has transformed an observatory into a giant R2-D2 because why the hell not.
Dr. Hubert Zitt, a professor at the Zweibrücken University of Applied Sciences, is an expert in electrotechnology and Star Wars.
Although Zitt only received a doctorate for his knowledge in the field of systems theory of electrotechnology, yeah I have no idea what that is either, he is famous for the lectures he delivers in Star Wars.
According to Bored Panda, the science-fiction fan decided to give the Zweibrück Observatory of the Natural Science Association a makeover, painting it to look like Star Wars‘ adorable robot R2-D2.
Recruiting his father-in-law Horst Hell, painter Klaus Ruffing and several of his students, Zitt transformed the observatory in September 2018, much to the delight of Star Wars fans.
Sharing an image of a Jawa standing outside the observatory, one person wrote on Instagram:
On the grounds of the FH in Zweibrücken the students have had a reason to be happy for a few weeks. In collaboration with their Prof Hubert Zitt they have painstakingly transformed the dome of the observatory into the Star Wars droid R2-D2.
So I think that part can be really proud. A galactic strong result. May the force be with you!!!

I bet Zitt is excited to see the latest Star Wars film, Episode IX, which is hitting cinemas later this year.
Ever since the release of Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi in 2017, fans have been eagerly awaiting any clues as to what they can expect from the next installment.
The upcoming blockbuster will bring to a close the latest trilogy of the main Star Wars film franchise.
Although plot details are being kept under wraps, we do know Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Anthony Daniels (C-3P0), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose), and Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux) are all coming back for the sequel.
Original star Billy Dee Williams is set to return to the Star Wars universe as Lando Calrissian, an old friend of Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca.
Now, Disney hurry up and drop the trailer, I can’t cope with the suspense!

R2D2 Makeover: Star Wars-Themed Space Observatory in Germany
R2D2 Makeover: Star Wars-Themed Space Observatory in Germany
In its original blank state, an observatory in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany was practically begging for a Star Wars-themed paint job. It was already the perfect shape for its transformation into one of the space epic’s most beloved characters; all it took was a fresh coat of white and a few new blue markings.
