STILL ON HORSE RANCH AU Threepio and Artoo spend almost their entire time stamping and nipping at each other. When Owen first bought the two they originally separated them because they kept being annoyances to each other, but of course Threepio got distressed almost instantly and they found Artoo had escaped his pasture and was currently being used as a pillow by Threepio like 2 hours later and thus they learned that yes, they WILL be jerks to one another, but Do Not Separate Them. no, not even when Threepio and Artoo go to opposite ends of the pasture to ignore each other. They’ll be back to sticking to each other like glue in an hour or so.

You can always tell when Threepio is nearby because my guy is the noisiest horse on the entire ranch. Which makes it much easier to find him when he follows Artoo on wherever he went because he’s somehow even louder.  Also its only when Artoo leaves suddenly that Threepio has a problem. Cause sometimes Luke needs to hand Artoo over to some friends of his and when that happens, so long as Threepio can see that Artoo’s just getting in a trailer, he’s fine. First few times was a goddamn nightmare, but Threepio’s learned that when Artoo’s in the horse trailer, he’s coming back. He’ll still be more anxious than usual, but he’ll be fine.

Also, BB-8 and Chopper. Little bastards the lot of ‘em. Chopper is a miniature donkey and BB-8 is the fattest itty bitty pony. BB-8 is actually smaller than Artoo but he doesn’t live on the ranch so he doesn’t count. Little guy loves Artoo to death and Chopper tags along behind ‘em. If the four of ‘em are ever put together they just form a mini herd and its quite a sight because you have 2 very small ponies, a grumpy miniature donkey, and a horse that looks like it was made of twigs.

in the cowboy verse bb8 is a painted pinto horse and rey is a gun slinging lesbian

obvs obvs. she wears trousers and maybe worked on the pony express for a bit there -- she’s small and a fast rider, w/e, it makes sense -- and all three of them join forces to idk rescue some small farming community from an evil land developer.

#poe has the two horses #black one is like a sleek black arabian horse he could and sometimes does race #for the money y'know #as he makes his way out west #avoiding his past #(maybe he's an ex union army officer??? spitballing here) #but bb8 is a sassy appaloosa #waverly-earp

Il materiale di origine: @JR_Bartok (Twitter) / “Poe Dameron! Best rider in the Resistance. At first, I really didn’t want to draw a horse. But I knew Poe needed a mount, and I want to push myself more with this series, so... I drew a horse. It turned out really well! And wIth BB8 the ocelot riding shotgun!”

obvious pick is obvious, but, extended star wars universe for the fandom ask :)

ohohoho!!!! gonna be honest I can't even keep track of the canon universe so these opinions are probably pretty standard dskfjsklfjds

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Obi-Wan! I am so Normal about Obi-Wan I like him a normal amount

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): hear me out - BB8. you can't argue that droid isn't So Shaped

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): Bail!! Organa!!!! and also F from visions. CRIMINALLY underappreciated characters who own my heart

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): well I would have said Peli Motto but I heard she's come up a few times in tbobf? so it's gotta be Katooni from that one tcw episode.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): well if we're talking pathetic and problematic.... Anakin is right there..... also, Dooku

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Lux Bonteri

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Palpatine ❤

(send me a fandom)

#thank you for the ask!!! #star wars #when I tell you I'm still thinking about f..... why did we as a society move on. #she's right there!!!! #she speaks #and answers

[billiewena]

star wars i didn't know you liked star wars !!

LOVE IT. my disclaimer for this one is that I've only seen the movies and most of The Mandalorian so far, so this is based on that:

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most):

SO MANY. Right now, Din Djarin/Mando. He's literally a tough space dad who has no idea what's going on and I adore him so much. Also LEIA, Rey, Obi-Wan, and basically the entire Rogue One crew. I've watched that movie...a lot...

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is so shaped):

when star wars introduces a small creature or droid that is made to sell merch I am unfortunately the target audience. so y'know... BB8, Baby Yoda, R2D2, THE PORGS. also I think rey, luke and poe count for this too <3 I want to kiss them all on the forehead

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave):

ROSEEEEE TICO. and finn, apparently! they had such fun personalities and unique backstories (the scene of rose's sister was sooooo good) I would've loved if they both had a bigger part in the last movie :(

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week):

BAZE & CHIRRUT FROM ROGUE ONE. I can't believe they only had a handful of minutes of screentime, I could think about them forever. also literally only watched the Han Solo movie since I know Lando would be in it so...you know.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave):

unfortunately, I do get the kylo ren appeal and think he's an interesting character, just wish other characters weren't deprioritized for his redemption arc y'know. but I do get it. I hate that I get it. but I get it.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): OH, also kylo ren. and anakin.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): JAR JAR BINKS. kylo ren again tbh. and goddamn palpatine. BRO YOU SHOULD BE DEAD.

blorbo ask game (send me a fandom!)

[winchesternova-k]

Hey, can you do Star Wars for the fandom ask?

hey! i’d love to!! (it’s been a while since i was hyperfixated on star wars and i’ve only seen the films minus rise of skywalker and played jedi fallen order tho so be forewarned fvgfvg)

blorbo: finn probably. i love him a lot and he had sm potential and they wasted it. also he’s just so Good and brave i love him. his backstory was so interesting and i’m a sucker for ppl doing the right thing even when it costs them big/is at a risk to themselves bc it’s Right and he rlly wants to do the right thing (also he’s the one i rotate in my mind the most when i’m hyperfixated on star wars and the standout character from the sequels for me)

scrunkly: this is so cliche but bb8 and grogu (even tho i’ve only watched the mandalorian through my tumblr dash and gif sets fvgfvg). they both remind me of my dog so i want to cuddle them both anytime i see them (honorary mention to bd-1 for the same reasons)

scrimblo bimblo: hmm i’m not super involved w the star wars fandom atm (i follow several blogs but i have no idea what’s common vs uncommon over there) so i’m gonna say cassian andor bc he was my fave from rogue one and i feel like i never see anything abt him (also bc i’m still not over the fact that when i bought my pop vinyl of him, it was in the bargain bin bc no one wanted him ????)

glup shitto: this one’s rlly difficult bc like i said i haven’t rlly engaged w much media where the characters i’m familiar w are likely to be minor characters or obscure? so i’m just gonna go w leia organa bc i got rlly excited abt her screen time in the first two sequels (even tho it didn’t go so well in the end. looking at u johnson and abrams)

poor little meow meow: i don’t rlly feel like any of the characters i like from what i’ve seen r particularly evil or pathetic (i haven’t finished fallen order yet so my answer might change to trilla bc i find her interesting but i haven’t played to the end to be sure of exactly how i feel/whether she fits this category y’know? sorry!)

horse plinko: yoda. no hesitation i hate that green bitch. he’s so mean to luke i’d LOVE to torment him to give him a little taste of his own medicine

eeby deeby: kyle fucking ron. i hate him sm. he took over and ruined the sequel trilogy and for what? he’s just a murdering, tantrum throwing space fascist and i hate his fans (and reyl0s in particular) for convincing disney that this was a good idea and for making fandom spaces unsafe for abuse survivors and fans of colour in particular (also disney for listening at all. y’all should know and do better). he could’ve been an interesting villain if they (disney) didn’t woobify him and make excuses for fascism but between that and the fandom and making reyl0 canon i hope he rots

sorry for the rant fvgfvg i’m sure my hatred of kyle ron is not a surprise to anyone who’s been following me fvgfvg

[hummingbirdsaltimolockia]

Star wars?

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

hmm lately I guess it would be the mandalorian. yes I know he has a name but I'm respecting his privacy

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

bb8 was designed to be Cute and it IS cute and that makes me groan

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

I saw shaak ti in the original animated clone wars show and thought wow she's so cool ever since. also the one true ben skywalker from the eu

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

obi wan's diner friend from attack of the clones who I feel is representative of the probably thousands of friends/connections obi wan has across the galaxy

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

darth maul has been my guy since 2002. I even got his autograph

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

kyle ron. or yoda

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

qui gon jinn. guy kickstarted the entire conflict of the star wars and then peaced out before he could face consequences. though he was cremated publicly so maybe he already got a taste of the eeby deeby?

[yourwakingnightmares]

There is no comparison between the Star Wars Prequels, and the Star Wars Sequels.

Were the prequels a bit boring? Sure! Politics in space wasn’t exactly what anybody was expecting after 30+ years. 

Was the dialogue atrocious? Hell yeah it was! The ‘I hate sand’ thing was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to shitty dialogue.

Was Anakin Skywalker a bit of a disappointment, from interesting pre-teen, to angsty, moody, self-conscious young adult, and somehow from that to the chilling Darth Vader? Of course it was!

And yet... these movies were infinitely better than the sequel movies.

Lucas might have been bad at dialogue, but at least there were no, ‘Let’s go, Chromedome!’ lines -regardless of delivery.

Politics in space might have been boring, but nearly every plot point was well wrapped up in the end, instead of left dangling.

Were there some contrivances in the plot? Of course there were! But at least we didn’t have ‘test tube Snokes’, ‘Jake Skywalker’ ‘R2 walks up after thirty years at the perfect moment’, and ‘Force Skype Calls’.

Were some of the characters wooden, stiff, or odd? Sure; I think we can all be glad that someone else did the dialogue in the originals, rather than Lucas. But at least they had character. At least they had a through-line in the story. At least they didn’t flip-flop all over the movie, bouncing from will they/won’t they to what can only be chalked up as bouts of insanity.

Were there some scenes that could’ve been less obnoxiously in your face? Sure there were! But at least we didn’t have the slow camera turn to ‘Nazi BB8′, ‘The Millennium Falcon, with your father, Han Solo’, or ‘A good story... for another time’.

And perhaps most importantly... Aside from the age of Luke and Leia issue (Padme died in childbirth, meaning Leia couldn’t have possibly remembered her), nothing from the prequels outright broke the originals. Lightspeed skipping, the ‘Holdo Maneuver’, Force Ghosts being able to do anything living Jedi could do, and so many, many more.

The message of the prequels -large bureaucracies are prone to corruption, ineptitude, selfishness, and inaction -was a bit simplistic as a an overall, but at least it was done tactfully, in a ‘show don’t tell’ way, and presented beyond a surface level.

Compare that to ‘rich people bad’, ‘animal rights good’, ‘all bad guys give Nazi speeches’, or ‘bad guys are just bad and want to destroy everything’.

Maybe there were some things that didn’t make sense, moments when we had to suspend our disbelief... But at least we didn’t have such gems as, ‘ships can’t tell which way is up’, space horse cavalry charge on Dreadnaughts, or McGuffins everywhere.

The characters of the prequels had to deal with consequences of their actions. Anakin recklessly charged in to save Obi-Wan without waiting for the other Jedi? He loses a hand. Padme refuses to see what Anakin is becoming? She ends up dying. The Jedi refuse to act until the very last moment? The bad guy wins. Obi-Wan wants to be Anakin’s friend, rather than his mentor/parental figure? Anakin goes Dark Side, and Obi-Wan has to make the heart-rending decision to try and kill his Padawan, his friend.

Compare that to the sequels. Fin picks up a lightsaber he doesn’t know how to use? He does pretty well. He loses to Kylo? Don’t worry, quick dip in bacta between movies, and the lightsaber to the spine has no ill-effects. Literally everything that happens in TLJ? Don’t worry, they’ll all be fine.

The characters from the prequels had flaws. Anakin was hot-headed, temperamental, and had exactly zero self-confidence, while being incredibly egotistical about his own abilities. Padme’s blind confidence in her decisions, and her own sense of morality got thousands killed, and lead to Anakin going Dark Side. Obi-Wan was a pushover, and incredibly unassertive. The Jedi were a massive, immovable, corrupt bureaucracy. Yoda was so confident in the Jedi Teachings that he refused to see that Anakin was floundering, to look at individuals rather than an institution.

The characters from the sequels? Beyond the original characters -Luke, Han, and Leia -none of the new characters have any negative traits to speak of. Poe is quick-witted, brave, and determined. Fin is funny, determined to save Rey, and desperate to truly help the galaxy. And Rey... well, Rey is all that is good and right, and can do anything and be anything.

Sure, the prequels had their faults and flaws... but compared to the sequels? They were goddamn masterpieces.

***

Rey woke up around six in the afternoon. Her clothes stuck to her sweat-drenched skin, much like her hair. BB8 was lying in the back seat, chewing on her old sock.

She shuffled out of the car, wondering how on earth she was going to make herself presentable. She’d showered yesterday but it felt like ages ago—in a matter of hours she had sweated, taken a tumble in the leaves, wandered into a thorn bush, rolled around in a pile of nettles, fought with an actual bear, and managed to sweat even more in the aftermath. She was covered in dirt, scratches, and leaf litter. Not to mentioned that she reeked of dog slobber. At this point, a shower seemed less of a luxury and more of a necessity. But where was she going to do that?

She recoiled at the thought of calling Ben Solo again. Better not get too dependent, too burdensome...what kind of post-breakup-soul-searching-road-trip would this be if she was constantly relying on the first man that crossed her path?

She opted for a campsite, she would have to spend the night somewhere anyway. And since she was sleeping in the car she wouldn’t have to bother with the whole tent business. She was carrying a lightweight dress and makeup essentials in her bag. It would suffice for this evening. As for BB8, she would be coming along—the poor girl—she didn’t have to spend the evening chained to the car.

***

Cigarette in hand, Ben reviewed Snoke’s responses to the leaked information from Rey’s phone as he sat on the terrace of the Town Square Tavern.

According to his files, her employer—Smart Berries—was a London-based startup specializing in targeted advertising. Their app used a patented algorithm to identify potential customers for various businesses. It was nothing remotely compromising. They had zero presence abroad. Just a team of fifty people, most of them myopic computer geeks or Frappuccino-guzzling business newbies. No connection whatsoever with Earth Soldiers or FORCE. Rey’s primary contacts consisted of her ex-fiancé Finn Storm who also worked in IT, and his boyfriend Poe Dameron who was a mechanic. She went out for lunch every afternoon, paid her taxes on time, donated regularly to cancer research initiatives, and lived a generally uneventful life. No prior political engagement, revolutionary plotting, activism, or discernable link to any ecological organizations whatsoever. The investigation into Jessika Pava returned similar results. The one thing that stood out to Ben was that Rey was born to absentee parents and raised by an adopted family.

“That makes two of us,” he sighed as he picked up his phone to text her his location. She would likely show up on time.

In the central plaza, a crowd of onlookers had gathered to watch a group of comedians perform an Old West skit. Saloon girls strutted around in billowy red satin bloomers. Military men paraded in on horses waving the Stars and Stripes, and daring cowboys performed a mock duel with toy pistols. The crowd was in full swing, laughing and cheering along.

Night fell slowly, the air still humid, the sky eventually turning pitch black. Kylo and the band dispersed into the crowd, with the exception of Syed who was still under orders to shadow Rey. Wherever she went,  Syed was never far away. Syed tore through the crowd in Ben’s direction, silently wishing she was slicing through something else entirely.

Ben couldn’t help but find her beautiful, in her black leather pants, studded belt and combat boots. She stood in front of him, raising the cigarette she twirled between her fingers to her lips.

“So, how was your day?” he asked, feigning indifference.

“I went on a twelve mile hike, confronted a bear, saved your girlfriend’s life, and then watched her sleep for three hours. I wasn’t exactly idle. What about you?”

“You saved her life?” He exclaimed, no longer able to maintain a poker face.

“Yeah. She’ll probably tell you, she’s going to be here any minute now.” Syed responded, looking behind her as if to pick someone out of the crowd. Ben followed her gaze.

That’s when he saw her.

To this day he had only ever seen her in jeans and a t-shirt, her feet clad in ankle boots and her hair tousled at best. But now he hardly recognized the woman approaching him.

Rey was wearing a blush pink silk dress and high heeled sandals that accentuated her elegant figure. The silk flowed effortlessly down her body, held up by thin straps. She had evidently forgone a bra. Her hair was swept into a loose updo, with a few rebel strands escaping to frame her lightly  made-up face.

Ben suddenly felt overly warm. He swallowed the lump in his throat, cursing his own weakness as he felt a blush creeping up his face. Syed tapped him under the jaw.

“Close your mouth or you’re going to catch flies.” She intoned.

Rey held a small purse in one hand (just big enough for her phone and wallet) and a leash in the other. BB8 trotted along nearby, chewing contently on a red rubber ball that was too large for her jaw and wagging her tail excitedly.

But the dog froze as soon as she caught sight of Ben, growling viciously. The sound that came out was garbled, muffled by the rubber ball. Ben rose to pull out a chair for Rey. He had a hard time finding the right words.

“Good evening. You look...beautiful. What will you be drinking?”

“Margarita, thanks.”

She sat down, hanging the leash on the back of her chair. BB8’s eyes were still glued to Ben as the growling continued. He looked down on her disdainfully and contemplated a swift kick in her direction. The dog was easily within  range of his boot—but that would surely ruin the evening. He gingerly moved his foot away.

Syed broke her silence, crushing the end of her lipstick-stained cigarette into an ashtray. “I’m going to see what Saul is up to. Call me if you need me Kylo, I’ve got my cell.”

Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heels and disappeared into the sea of passers by. A waitress brought a margarita for Rey and a  pint of Rainier for Ben. They clinked glasses.

“So, did you have a good day?” Ben asked finally, strangely hesitant.

“I don’t know,” Rey replied, taking a long sip of the sugary tequila concoction through her straw. She looked up at Ben with gleaming eyes. “I fought a bear...”

“Oh, you too?” Ben asked, immediately regretting his untimely slip up.

Rey frowned, obviously perplexed. “What do you mean, me too? Do you know a lot of people who have fought bears?”

“Er no I meant—I thought it was just some British expression or something—to say that you’ve had a rough day?”

Rey burst out laughing.

Nice save.

“No, but it could be! Believe it or not, I fought an actual bear.”

Ben’s eyes widened. “If you fought a bear there’s no way you would have escaped, unscathed, to tell the tale.”

“You don’t believe me?” Rey feigned offense. “Would you bet on it?”

“A bet?” Ben took a gulp of his beer. He didn’t like where this conversation was headed. What the hell was the story with this bear? He knew Rey was danger-prone but this was too much even for her. “Alright, you’re on. What are the conditions?”

Rey lit up instantly. She had Ben right where she wanted him. He wasn’t particularly well dressed this evening but she found a surprising amount of grace, watching him in the dimming glow of twilight. His shoulders were massive and his mouth too large, his nose too long and his ears slightly too big for his face. She had lost count of his beauty marks. But it all seemed to work, his features coming together in atypical harmony. What she really liked was his hair. It fell in thick waves to the nape of his neck and she suddenly had the urge to run her fingers through it. The idea of sliding her nails through was enough to make heat bloom in her stomach.

She crossed her legs to clamp down on the impulse as she feigned an air of nonchalance. “If I can prove that I fought a bear today, you have to...let me pleat your hair.”

Ben broke out into a laugh—the genuine  sort of laughter that Rey had never heard from him before. She smiled. It suited him, tracing dimples along his cheeks and revealing a row of slightly imperfect teeth. The nth little flaw that added to the equilibrium of his face.

“No way,” he finally managed after he caught his breath.

Disappointed, Rey pressed her lips into an exaggerated pout. “Tell me, what would you counter, then?” Rey asked politely.

“If I win you have to teach your dog to like me,” Ben replied without missing a beat.

Rey smiled inwardly, she was touched by the fact that he wanted to make friends with BB. She couldn’t help but find his intentions adorable.

“Alright,” she agreed, but only if you let me do your hair.”

“Okay.”

That would cost him. He wasn’t afraid of looking ridiculous—what he was really afraid of was the feel of her fingers running against his scalp. Would he be able to keep himself in check? What if she noticed he was half-hard? But the truth was he had a lot to gain if he won the bet.

Rey grinned triumphantly, reaching into her bag to take out a piece of metal which she placed on the table.

Ben held it between his fingertips. “What is this? A bullet?”

“Yep. It belongs to the hunter who scared the bear off,” she confirmed.

“The bear...that you fought with?” Ben had a hard time buying it.

Rey launched into a story, gesticulating wildly as she recounted her adventure: BB8, the chipmunk, the bear and the invisible shooter.

Ben licked his lips. It all corresponded with what Syed had so succinctly reported: Confronted a bear, saved your girlfriend’s life. He could have denied it, could have asked for additional evidence that she would never be able to supply. But he already knew it was true. What point would there be in antagonizing her and calling her a liar?

He nodded. “Okay, you win.”

Rey raised her arms in victory, it was her turn to laugh. “Are you ready for a makeover?”

“Here?” Ben sputtered incredulously.

Rey grinned mischievously. “It’ll happen whenever and wherever I choose tonight,” she countered, sipping on the rest of her cocktail. She was hungry too, her stomach growled in complaint.

And so they ordered pizza. BB8 perked up at the scent. She didn’t hesitate to butt the table with her snout in begging for a slice.

Rey caught Ben’s attention. “Give her a little piece,” she whispered, “and then pet her gently. She’ll warm up to you.”

Ben obeyed, albeit with caution. The dog growled, but was unable to resist the temptation of hot pizza. She swallowed the piece whole with a single movement of her jaw. Ben slowly retrieved his hand. BB reclaimed her rightful place next to Rey, who stroked her affectionately.

“That’s it, good dog. See him? That’s Ben. You’ll get used to him eventually. I’m sure he’ll give you more pizza, and you’ll be friends. What do you say, Ben?”

“I...suppose, yes.” He wasn’t quite at ease with the animal but in order for the mission to succeed, he would have to be able to approach Rey.

She finished her pizza and ordered a second margarita, all the while licking the salt on the rim of the glass from her fingers. She raised her honey colored eyes to Ben.

“So l’ll summarize what I know about you: you play music, you drive a big pickup, and you have history with the lead guitarist. Who are you, Ben Solo? Is music your business or your pleasure?”

He diverted his gaze. He had no intention of stumbling this time. “I tour with the band for a month at a time but...the rest of the time I work at a multinational company in Silicon Valley.”

“Oh? You’re in tech?”

“No, it’s in the industrial sector. What about you?” He turned the tables on her ”I know that you’re British, that you’re single as of late, that you like music and hiking, and that you fear solitude. What do you do in life, Rey?”

She blushed. “My title is Office Experience Manager. I work in HR at a startup where I handle the well-being of the team. I make sure that they like what we do and are happy with where they are.”

That was definitely her calling. There was something luminous about her, she was like sunshine. He didn’t doubt for an instant that she brought happiness wherever she went. Ben himself was so taciturn—more like moonlight—and yet he found himself changing in her presence.

“Why do you think that I fear solitude?” She asked, dreading the response.

Ben’s hand reached out and gently swept a loose lock of hair behind her ear. She trembled slightly, making his palm brush against her cheek. She was warm to the touch. He didn’t move his hand, somehow frozen in the moment. Rey closed her eyes.

“You say you’re travelling alone, but you keep coming back to me, again and again,” he murmured breathlessly, “why?”

“You’re the first person I met here, when I was in the depths of hell. You helped me,  in your own way. Brash and intrusive...quintessentially American.”

Ben’s palm cupped her cheek. His hands were massive, he could have held her whole face in that palm.

“Rey.”

She blinked, coming back to her senses.

“Come.”

He rose, depositing a handful of cash on the table. She took the hand he offered her.

“What about BB8?” She asked softly.

“We’re not going very far. She can wait a few minutes.”

Rey let Ben pull her away—pull her in—far from the crowd. He lead her down the alley, a shelter away from prying eyes and public lighting. He grabbed her wrist, pinning her against the wall. Rey gulped. He was so close, and his gaze was so intense. He licked his lips, a tick that she had noticed on the first day they met. It gave away his apprehension. Or was it anticipation?

Slowly, she lifted her hands, and with a slight tremble, buried them in the dark waves of his hair. Obeying an irrepressible instinct, he took her face in both hands and crushed her mouth to his.

[wordnerdthethird]

I really likes tros! I know I might be in the small percentage but I really did like it

My only complaints:

-why was rose only in like 2 scenes?

-why did they make up a different backstory for Poe (spice smuggler) when he already had a cannon backstory

-and ugh my biggest complaint is that practically the whole last hour was just flashing lights, I appreciated the warning but did they really have to make such a big part of the movie with that? Just for a /dark/ aesthetic? I seriously felt so physically nauseous and my migraine still hasn't gone away

-wasnt super happy with the reylo kiss because, I know that ben changed and all but even just earlier in the movie he's literally telling rey the "she can't hide from him" and,,,that's not sending the best message. Maybe if they gave him more time to actually change, idk

-killing snap wexley was completely pointless

-did we ever find out what finn was going to tell rey? Did I blank that out or did we not get a answer?

What I liked:

-chewie getting a medal! That was so sweet and I might've actually cried in the theater

-the hug at the end with the main 3, i loved that sooo much

-so many pretty scenes! I loved seeing all the planets and species

-I actually liked that hux was the spy, I wasnt expecting it and it really added more to his character and yeah I thought that was a good twist

-so happy that rey didn't give into the darkness, yes it would've been something different but it would've been just reinforcing the negitive view that you will always turn out like your parents (grandparent in her case) and have no choice in your own path which can be super damaging so I'm really happy that they didn't go down that path just for the shock value

-i loved the main team it was so sweet to get rey, finn, poe, chewie, threepio and bb8 all on the falcon like it really just felt like home and all the banter and comedy, they all had such great chemistry

-i felt like the plot was a lot more precise and less messy then tlj it really felt more spaced out and cohesive

-i really loved the sideplot about finn finding other stormtrooper deserters, and I really loved the setup for lando and her finding where she's from

-loved the force ghosts!

-i actually was happy how they ended it with leia, although, (much like all the other major character deaths in the series) it could've been easily avoided. But how they showed it affecting her kids (kylo, rey, and poe) and oh no I seriously broke down when we saw chewie get the news

-i liked that it was left mostly open ended, a first order-free universe and our main guys to protect it together

-the scene where lando comes back with a million civilians to fight? Iconic

-ohhh also that line where the guy is like 'disable their speeders' and then the other guy is like 'theyre not using speeders' cut to them riding these horse/aliens and like oof yeah that was good

-i liked that kylo died with the throwing off his saber into the water, and then I liked that ben died finally making the right choice

-i just loved the whole cast! So much talent! Every scene John Boyega is in I'm like,, 👌👌👌

Not my favourite star wars movie but I really did like it a lot!
