I choked up at your whitefont point, as well, Teppy.
Overall, I enjoyed RoS enough in the moment, but there was plenty of stuff to bug me once I had time to think about it. The plot felt like a 12 year-old's ideas of what should happen after RotJ.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Little Women was phenomenal. I honestly can't find a single bad thing to say about it.

Hey. New board.
When I was eight, I regularly argued that Return of the Jedi was the best Star Wars because "A New Hope has a death star, Empire Strikes Back has a lightsaber duel, but Return of the Jedi has BOTH!"
I haven't seen ROS yet, but my impression from the internet is that JJ Abrams is me, at eight.

Because books.
I tried to go to Little Women on NYE and when I got there for a 3:50 showing, everything but the front row was sold out. Yay women-led and -made movies doing phenomenally!

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

More or less, assuming you had umpty million dollars to play with at eight.

I've heard worse arguments.

Hey. New board.
Sure! I think that's basically still what my dad looks for in a Star Wars movie.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
There are lovely STAR WARS WOOO! moments in RoS, and I loved having the main three finally together, but overall, what a hot mess!
Yes, Stormpilot is absolutely happening. (am I the only one who wondered whether Hux become the mole because Kylo wasn't hate-fucking with him anymore ?)

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Ha! Una, I didn't wonder that during the movie, but I 100% accept your reasoning!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Now there are these weird rumors of Disney overriding JJ's creative decisions, and some mystical 3-hour cut of the movie. It's like the revenge of the Snyder cut.
