No more Star Wars posts from me for another week, guys. Not until I’ve actually seen the movie.
I will, however, continue to post about other things.

Finnrey All The Way!
Eight days. The fake spoilers have already started rolling in. Fist fights have broken out across the fandom. No, wait. That’s normal for the Star Wars fandom. The anticipation has reached a fever pitch. What can we do to ease this pain?
Take about Finnrey, of course!

Finn In The Last Jedi Speculation
Gooood morning Internet! How is everybody?
Miserable? Good.
Today, I want to talk about Finn. Specifically, I want to talk about what he might become at the end of TLJ.
Potential spoiler warning! Join me under the cut at your own peril!
Big Finn Post Tomorrow Guys!
I promise!
Kylo! Ren! Versus! Darth! Vader! Versus! Loki!
First off, I would like to apologize to the Epic Rap Battle of History team for staining their good intro with two worthless characters.
Secondly, I’m tired of Kylo. The Tumblr fandom, both for and against, have managed to elevate this character far beyond any possible role or worth he has in the story. Here’s a hint, guys: Kylo Ren is not the hero of these or any movies. He never will be. He’s not being presented as such. He’s a tragic villain who’s going to die in IX, The Dragon to Snoke. A pawn, to be used and discarded.
So this is going to be my last post on the guy. Period. No more will this idiot’s drama darken my dash.

The Great Untwist of The Last Jedi
You’d be amazed at what a good night’s sleep can do for you.
No, really. You would. The need to throttle an entire fandom just kind of… disappears after a good night’s sleep.
So today, I want to talk about how The Last Jedi is almost certainly going not going to have any major, ‘shocking’ twists in it.

No Star Wars Discussion Today
Sorry, I’m just not feeling very well.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Probably) Isn’t Going To Be That Dark
It’s been a good week for me, I got to admit. Aside from one bit of oddity from Pablo Hidalgo (which ultimately works out way more in my favour than it doesn’t, but I still think it’s bullshit), everything that’s gone on this week has been in my favour:
- First, there was those two Q&A’s from Rian that managed to completely avoid Kylo Ren. Given that one of them was coordinated entirely by Rian, that should put the kibosh on the idea that he stans Kylo. It didn’t, but when Kylo doesn’t get half the screentime his anti’s and pro’s expect him to, I’m going to be laughing my ass off in here.
- Then there’s Rian’s confirmation, once again, that he’s just following the logical progression of what came before. I kept telling you guys that he wasn’t twisting the characters out of shape, but did you listen? Nooooo.
- Then there’s Rolling Stone’s article on TLJ. Which confirms that Daisy and J.J. both knew who Rey’s parents were and that Rian didn’t need to be told by anybody; he came to the same conclusion on his own. There’s really only one possibility that is that obvious, and that’s Rey Skywalker.
- Speaking of Pablo, he confirmed that the FO were the bad guys. I told you they weren’t being presented as the good guys! Look, I don’t like Pablo. But when he flat out states something, with no maybes in his wording, there’s not a whole lot you can do. That’s him acting in his capacity as the Official Rep of Kathleen Kennedy, and if Kennedy decides that the FO are the bad guys, then they’re the bad guys. We’ve seen, repeatedly, that Kennedy has no problem with telling people who don’t follow the Star Wars rules to take a hike, so there shouldn’t be any question about how the FO is going to be presented.
Am I feeling just a little smug? Oh, you bet your ass I am. But today, we’re not discussing just how awesome I am. No, we’re going to discuss just how ‘dark’ TLJ is going to be.

For My Ally Is The Force, And A Powerful Ally It Is: A Discussion on What The Force Actually Is, And How Many Star Wars Get It Wrong
I think, outside of my university days, that’s probably the longest title I’ve ever written. At least for an essay.
But this is too important a subject to be ignored. Many Star Wars fans have a conception of the Force that is completely and utterly contrary to what is actually presented on-screen. I really really doubt that this essay is going to change anybody’s minds, but this is all stuff that needs to be said.

Whoso Pulleth Out This Lightsaber of Snow And Ground Shall Rightwise Be The Heir To Anakin Skywalker
I was going to go with the inscription from Thor, but this one seemed to fit the Star Wars universe way better. After all, it’s not like wielding a lightsaber makes you strong in the Force, right?
But that’s right peoples, we are discussing the one, the only, Rey Skywalker today! I know she hasn’t been officially confirmed yet as Anakin’s grandkid, but… well, see my post on Rey’s parents.
In the meantime, join me under the cut!
