"For those who aren't aware there has been a rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced [...] hyper-conservative, bigotry, vitriol, prejudice, hatred and hateful language towards us."
This is all Iโm posting, cause I need to keep moving. This was the one line I was hoping for. And itโs there. *this is during the Death Star fight*
Like, he carried her back to his cave, bandaged her wound, put her *in his bed* left food & water out for her & left clothes for her.
then he went and took a nakie bath knowing she was watching & told her heโd put his clothes back on if she wasnโt going to join him.
#TheAcolyte
For the record, Rey Kenobi was my hopes and dreams from TFA. To repair the damage Anakin did to his relationship with Obi Wan, their grandchildren coming together would have been a perfect balance. Rey Nobody wasnโt on my radar until TLJ, and then she was ripped away ๐
Commentary: Can the Best of Star Wars Survive the Worst of Its Fans?
Before Star Wars can have another successful show, some vocal parts of fandom have to reckon with what they really want out of the franchise.
More:
FWIW: there is no Ben Force Ghost in the novel. There is a moment right after Ben fades away that I honestly personally found very healing in my relationship with this story. Iโm still devastated about Ben in general, but it helped.
Adam Driver understands that the only way to truly succeed in this industry is to collaborate. He KNOWS nothing is solely about him, and makes sure the people around him know it too. Itโs refreshing to see that in someone as talented as he is. I have the highest hopes for him.
Iโm not going to tag anything on this post, please donโt either.
I talked to RC about the novelisation. Face to face, point blank, I asked her why I, as a Reylo and someone who loves Ben should read it. she told me she canโt promise the resolution we are looking for, but.. (1/)
'The Acolyte' star Lee Jung-jae says he was 'quite surprised' by the show's cancellation and holds out hope that a change could be made: 'You never know what's going to happen.'
Hereโs your tear jerker for the night, cause I just sobbed for 5 minutes:
โLeia had held out hope for Ben until the very end. Turned out, Chewie had felt the same way.โ

Iโve been involved in Star Wars fandom since I was 4 years old. Iโm not going anywhere.
Just please, stop making me feel stupid for caring for the last 27 years. Please? My little boat has so many holes in it, Iโll be treading water soon.
as a Reylo, itโs โa little betterโ. She told me to skip to the last few pages, and let that be my barometer for reading the rest of it. No hard feelings either way, and she mentioned the disaster that was the GoT ending, and understanding how weโre feeling... (2/)

So thereโs a narrative line when Rey is calling for the Jedi on exegol, that LITERALLY says โit was like she was staring through a window to somewhere else, A PLACE BETWEEN PLACES.โ * emphasis is mine * and whether it was intended or not, it gives me hope. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Well, Iโve finished a proper read through of the
#TROSnovel
: green tabs are moments that I feel are Reylo in nature, yellow tabs are people other than Rey loving Ben, the light purple tabs thoughts/mentions of Benโs trauma, and pink are other moments I wanted to take note of.
Honestly I just feel so bad for Pedro, heโs not even being allowed to lead his own fucking show. That last scene should have been the focus and he felt like an afterthought.
I just want sexy villain enemies to lovers endgame where they either never die, or live long and full lives together and die close to each other.
Does that exist??
Reylo fam? I love yโall.
Tonight was the first time Iโve watched TLJ since before TRoS. I was scared that it ruined the things I love most about TLJ; couldnโt make myself watch it.
Tonight Iโve been reassured that, regardless of how I feel about TRoS, TLJ still brings me joy.
I mean. The 3 incidents I experienced personally, *in person* at SWCA last week would beg to differ on this โstar peaceโ. dudes got in my and my friends face to tell us the characters/cosplays we had were shit characters/shit writing ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
With social media hostility poisoning global fandoms, might the face-to-face goodwill found at real-life gatherings like
#StarWarsCelebration
be the antidote?
Why is it so hard for *those* people to just say, โhey, itโs not for meโ and move on with their lives?

Ok. So I just got a really shitty DM. I know people want the content, but I also know that without context people are going to make a big deal of things that might not be *that* bad. I will read it tonight after I get home from the con.
My current biggest issue (it shifts day to day) with TRoS and the narrative trying to be pushed post IX is the absolutely fundamental lack of understanding of LEIA as a character, and as a mother. There is absolutely no way Leia Oragana would be at peace with her son dying at 30.
Hey Lucasfilm? Iโm so disappointed that you allowed this story to end in tragedy. Thereโs no resolution for the Skywalkers in this ending. Thereโs no HOPE. Iโve had this tiny glimmer of hope after reading the novel, but comments in the doc have ripped it to shreds.
I know people are hurting. You have every right to.
When I tell you I sat on the floor at the con yesterday crying over Ben and Rey, and Leia, and Chewie, I sat there for TWO HOURS reading key scenes aloud to my friends. I had to stop so many times because I was crying too

There are 5 different fabrics in this costume. And none of them are the same colour. But you canโt tell in the movie and it really bothers me, because this costume was hard AF to accomplish.
Hey
@raecarson
I think youโre a gem of a human, and Iโm really glad I got to talk to you a little bit this weekend. Your compassion and understanding means honestly more than I can say.
Dear dear
@nbcsnl
I havenโt been this happy since the 19th of December.

is a precious gift, thank you thank you thank you for making me laugh so hard that I cried.
I really think Plagueis is there for Osha. Heโs obsessed with the force manipulating life, and she is a product of the force. In some way or another.
Iโm on my way home. I absolutely cannot keep up with my messages or notifications right now. So hi. I will give my review of the novel as soon as I finish it. Iโll be running around the con for the rest of the weekend if you want to say hi. Probs with my emotional support BenBear
