Spoilers ahead, as we all saw The Force Awakens a bunch more times, read all the tie-ins, and… Something about a holiday? Two of them, maybe? I don’t know. I’m very tired.
the only TFA spoilers i've seen are that the cast consists of a badass female, an interracial gay couple & a disgruntled hot topic employee

I know the film is flawed. I just don't care. Like, I can't muster any dislike for it hard as I try. I unabashedly, gleefully loved it.

The Phantom Menace = Palpatine/Sidious
A New Hope = Luke
The Force Awakens = Rey
Glad they kept the naming convention.

People are so unused to seeing female protagonists onscreen that the defining aspects of male characters look insane to them on a woman.

Rey's a better Luke than Luke was, and a lot of boys who have a lot in common with Kylo Ren are having a pretty hard time handling that.

In a STAR WARS videogame once I used the Force to pull a star destroyer out of the sky so NO I don't think Rey is too powerful

Rey’s theme is so beautiful and hopeful and so full of determination. John Williams killed it. #TheForceAwakens #StarWars
— Denizcan Rey (@MrFilmkritik) December 27, 2015
Not taking anything in Rey's Force vision literally. Ungkar grasping Rey's wrist as her family abandons her? Symbolic of her slavery to him.

Have a theory for how Rey won her fight. What if–bear with me here–she's a better fighter and more in tune with the Force?

Kylo Ren's greatest power was maintaining his perfect blow out after taking off his helmet. The Force is strong with his conditioner.

Of course Rey can understand Wookiees. She lives on a junk world, they probably had the Holiday Special lying around…

Legends, or the Dash Rendar mockery train‘
Still horrified that Episode VII could have very well been named after some shitty ’90s EU, but always up for a Dash mockery session.
The best description of Shadows of the Empire I remember reading online was someone calling it "The one with the lizard that smells good."
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) December 28, 2015
Was Dash Rendar going to be in The Force Awakens if Harrison Ford didn't sign on? Is that why it was called Shadow of the Empire for a bit?
— Brian (@brian_nov) December 30, 2015
I know I'm supposed to take the high ground here, or at very least, the neutral ground, but I will always make fun of Dash Rendar.
