Some spoiler-free TROS reactions. Like TROJ, there’s a feeling of rote inevitability to the proceedings. The hands of destiny clicking into place. What if once, one of these things ended in a way that was genuinely unexpected and surprising?

It’s also a movie where, more than any other film, I couldn’t separate my viewing from my awareness of “the discourse.” Poe does some reckless flyboy shit, then says “Yeah, well Leia’s not here, is she?!” and my mind goes to those who may hear it as a rebuke of TLJ’s “feminism.”

As with all Star Wars movies, we all have to live with this one now for the rest of our lives. Love it or hate it, it almost doesn’t matter. As Joe Pesci says in The Irishman, “It’s what it is.”

Anyway, now I know how the Skywalker saga truly ends, at least until five years from now when Disney announces that episodes 10-12 are in the works!

Also, for all my gripes abt this film or the whole new trilogy, I do like its handling of loneliness and found family. As a trans woman with no “real” family who still feels like she’s looking for people with whom she belongs, the broad strokes of Rey’s journey really speak to me

I think my favorite thing about the “queer representation” in TROS is how incredibly easy it will be to edit it out in markets that may not be ready for such a bold, powerful statement.

Mostly I wish that Rise of Skywalker had eliminated some unnecessary plot clutter and slowed down a bit more often to give its characters time to feel like actual characters instead of just clockwork automatons caught up in the machinations of the plot.
