What if Jacen Syndulla was the third member of the trio?

Don’t get me wrong I love Poe Dameron. Seriously I don’t want to imagine Star Wars without him but I was up early, 7am sunday morning doing the ironing, and into my head popped “that’s one hell of a pilot!” and suddenly it hit me.

In my Rise of Skywalker review I said I wish that the movies would make good use of existing canon rather than just inventing new stuff all the time.

Now I’m not talking about changing the plot/story arc of any of the movies even though there are some things I don’t like. I’m just talking about tweaking little details. It would have been a huge screaming moment for fans of the expanded canon and it wouldn’t have been any different really for more casual fans of the movies.

The Endgame Series: General Thoughts

Posted on by

(I wrote so much about Avengers: Endgame I’m splitting it into a series of posts)

Standardised beginning because I don’t care if the spoiler ban has been officially lifted. This was THE movie, the movie that ended the journey we started ten years ago and I would literally die if I accidentally spoiled anyone.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!

I’m going to put everything under the cut but in case it doesn’t work for some reason. Seriously don’t read beyond this point if you haven’t seen the movie. Anyway now that’s established let’s dive in 🙂

The Last Jedi (Review)

Posted on by

Spoilers abound and possibly some unpopular opinions as well.

I want to say straight up that I love Star Wars. I mean who doesn’t right? The jedi, the sith, the republic, the empire – the droids!!! It’s just all so cool. I go in for merch if I can get it so I have a lot of Star Wars related stuff – I am a fan, so if I complain about anything it’s like I’m doing it with love 🙂

Also if I’ve given the wrong impression thus far I DID like the movie. I went in the movie theater with trepidation and low expectations, and the movie was much better than I thought it was going to be.

Right anyway, now I’ve sufficiently covered myself heh onwards with the review!

7.01 – Hyperion Heights (Review)

NEW OTP – Henry and Jacinda/Cinderella aka GlassBeliever.

New favorite character – I utterly love Cinderella/Jacinda.

She is so badass. Like in present day she stood up to her jerk boss. She was so close to crying and giving in but she stayed true to herself and that took tremendous strength. What showed even more strength was when she swallowed her pride and went back at the end. She did it because it was the right thing to do for her daughter, because family is more important. Honestly I couldn’t love her anymore than I do.

Henry and Jacinda have so much chemistry! He was totally disarmed and dumbstruck. I know that’s party because ‘oooh pretty girl’ but I think it’s also that he’s come to expect certain things. There are storylines and they follow certain paths and Jacinda defies expectations. She is totally her own person and to borrow from Belle – nobody chooses her fate. So like his grandfather before him, he just can’t help but fall in love with this amazing woman.

I liked Regina/Roni playing matchmaker by giving the ‘two kids’ a drink and it was funny at the irony of Henry saying to Regina “imagine if I walked in and said I was your son” because duh 🙂
