Buffistas

A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I was glad they gave Leia at least one scene where she actively used the Force, so it didn't seem like she'd completely ignored an inborn talent that would be a MASSIVE advantage in fighting against the vestiges of the Empire. I mean, Luke became a full-fledged Jedi in less than 6 years with relatively little of that under expert supervision, you'd think she'd have found time in 34 or so to cultivate a few tricks.

Of course, I wish she'd been allowed to use it to give Kylo Ren a Force-whipping that would have left him curled up in the fetal position and crying through the end of Episode IX...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes to Matt's second spoilery paragraph, in full.

Incidentally, I'm overjoyed at all my fabulous bitches (both Buffista and non-Buffista) jumping on the dude on my facebook who was all "blah blah movie about having to listen to middle-aged women blah" so I didn't even have to.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So, I agree with all of you about The Last Jedi, and may I add that long fight scenes have become boring to me. When the fight lasts more than a few blows and no one is dead or seriously injured except redshirts, I start thinking about lunch. Also, I hate that I can see through the fight choreography now, THANKS

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I liked it well enough, but I agree with one of my college friends that it was not great. I don't think TFA was either. I liked Rogue One much more than either of these even though I like characters in these more, if that makes sense.

I really enjoyed TFA pretty much all the way through. With this one, there were long stretches I wasn't interested in, but I REALLY liked all the parts with Rey, Luke, and Leia.

Furthermore, I dislike Kylo Ren. Not in the "villain I love to hate" way, just in the "ugh somebody behead him please" way.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

In a movie with Oscar Isaac and John Boyega, WHY did we get Adam Driver shirtless? Throw me a dang bone, Rian Johnson.

Right there with you, Steph. They even teased us with the Poe quoting "Finn, naked?" bit from BB-8 before revealing Finn was wandering around swathed from head to toe in bubble wrap.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I loved it and have zero complaints. Maybe a few questions, but no complaints. I feel like Rogue One and TLJ both get back to Star Wars' roots (SF Akira Kurosawa homage) and I am here for it.
