The Phantom Menace Also Defied Star Wars Expectations

I really liked this take:
Moving Forward with The Last Jedi

Twitter thread on Rey + Finn

I need to read more about the Sith. This made more sense of Anakin's arc than all of the prequels together. (Although to be fair, I can't remember much about them.)

And from Tumblr, a run-down of the Kylo/Rey interactions

And finally, Rian Johnson himself: ..

Saving that GIF!

And also I love that thread about Finn and Rey. Much as I like the idea of Stormpilot and I loved Rose's kiss, Rey's still the only person who's made Finn take action.

Had to go find it and save it for myself, I kept seeing in on Twitter, but it's not the same...

And re. Finn & Rey, I see them very much as BFFs. I'm quite happy to ship Finn/Rose romantically and Finn/Rey as Best Friends. Or you know, Finn with Poe or whatever. I'm easy! :D

And I wouldn't be upset if we got Finn/Rose in the final film. Or Stormpliot. Or all four of them in a happy group relationship. :D

Same here. I'm so very easy. :)
