The Force Awakens

So guess who saw TFA again in 3D today? :DDD Plus look at what they were giving away with each ticket!



(It's just a postcard but isn't he adorable?) (Amber if I go again and I get Ren I will totally send it to you. LOL)

I loved it even more in 3D although I cringed even harder every time the Millennium Falcon smashed into something (YOU KNOW IN RotJ HAN WAS PROMISED NOT A SCRATCH DAMMIT) and I actually cried a little at the Han/Ren scene DON'T LOOK AT ME. Plus the Rey x Finn friendship and parallels were even more obvious and heartwarming the second time round. Like the visual parallel with the helmets straight off the bat, and the way they were I CAN DO THIS. I CAN DO THIS in that first dogfight and then the excited talking at the same time (but actually listening!) MY GRINCHY HEART GREW A COUPLE SIZES. <3

I still couldn't stop laughing at Kylo Ren and loving his rivalry with Hux. XD He totally beats the pants off Anakin for tantrum sizes and entitlement and he isn't even Jedi Jesus. LOL I'm wondering if his wavering is what threw Finn off his conditioning too. Or was sensing Finn's change of heart and sympathizing what prompted his emotional crisis? WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT RIGHT.

Also I am totally writing this fic now. The Jedi and The First Order are even more explicitly paralleled than the Jedi and the Sith in the other films. Terrible choices on either side of the Force- best to be like Maz and be neither, methinks.

A third option doesn't mean Anakin can't still screw it up tho! :P

LMFAO I would love it if his obsession with Anakin carries on and he actually manages to form some sort of cult with him as Anakin's ~blood and prophet trololol

Oh man I really hope they write in Anakin's force ghost somehow like people are speccing. I want Hayden Christensen back!

LOL True. But if he's spends more time learning about himself instead of constantly being forced into some kind of role by all the shady power players, I think he'll end up slightly more mentally stable. LOL

I want Hayden Christensen back!

What??? Why? He was TERRIBLE. XDDDD Good looking af, but AWFUL. Like I watch some of the scenes and I am just CRINGING and thinking How is this the take they chose for the final edit?!
Also I'm annoyed they retconned him into RotJ. The version I watched as a kid had the grown up Anakin getting his redemption and being the Force ghost, not reverting back to when he was young as if the interim years and final act of self sacrifice were less important than his time as a Jedi a billion years ago. *glares at DVD on shelf*

You think of Anakin as less inherently floppy than I tbh trololol.

Hahahaha idk I just don't think or don't ~feel that he was as terrible as everyone says??? Like, it seems perfectly in line with these movies in general tbh and has its ~charm iykwim? lolz. Different strokes I guess. But to come back to the good looking part....I do thirst for him a lot lmfao Do I wanna check out how he's aged? lol

I still haven't watched RotJ, nevermind any original version, so I'm def not affected that way xDDD I've read there was some editing involved in the Blu Rays or re-releases or something and that does sound...shitty lol.

Hahahah he's totally less floppy in TPM when he's just a kid and he's making all the decisions.

He's Canadian, so he did some ads with a Canadian clothing company last year, maybe? Still looks fiiine. :DD He married Rachel Bilson and they had a kid.

It totally undermines the whole premise of the prophecy (that he destroyed the Sith in one fell swoop, both master and apprentice) and how he fought for redemption despite all the terrible things he'd done. aaargh. I HATE THAT.
