I took T. to martial arts. After that we were going to go see Murder on the Orient Express at 10:20 at The Point, but the next show was at 11, so we saw the 10:30 Star Wars instead. Which is what I wanted to do, but T. had been trying to get to the Agatha Christie thing and I wasn’t opposed.
HEY SPOILERS! Go see the movie then come back and we’ll talk.
Wow, did I love Rose! OMG love love love love Rose. I loved that she was excited to meet Finn, but was totally capable of seeing that he needed to be stunned and stopped from deserting. She spends a lot of her time in the movie stopping Finn, but in a good way. I hope we see a lot more of Rose. I think she may actually be my all time Star Wars character ever (not sarcastic).
I loved that there were so many great women characters. Leia, Rey, Rose and Phasma, but also Holdo (Laura Dern), and what I assume were a bunch of women on the island. (If they weren’t women, I still loved them, and totally get where they are coming from, being irritated with the powerful newcomer who keeps busting things up.) I loved Yoda calling down lightning and just setting The Tree on FIRE! That cackle. It is the best.
I have no idea where the last movie in the main sequence is going to go with things, but I hope that the ending of Rogue One (Jian being perfectly okay with dying, as long as she doesn’t get left behind by someone who loves her yet again) and Rose’s remark after saving Finn from his overly heroic impulse and Leia’s comment to Rey (“We have everything we need right here.”) are where we wind up. Salvation comes from cherishing what we love, not destroying what we hate. Can’t really find a clearer depiction of that than in the character of Kylo Ren, who is an adolescent wrecker writ large.
After the movie, we went to lunch with friends at Evvivo Cantina, where the service and the food were absolutely wonderful. I can’t believe I haven’t been there before and I plan to go back soon. I’ll have to find out if the bar is good.
