I spent the day yesterday organizing and inventorying $120K worth of Star Wars toys. They are donations for Rebel Legion/501st troops at hospitals and such. There were a ton of DJ Pops. At one point, someone said something about needing to throw something away and I suggested DJ. In entirety. Because agreed. Not needed. At all.
The one thing he does is show how war works. Ie, profiteering, etc. But why? Why can't we just have our fantasy in our fantasy? (Yes, Star Wars is 100% fantasy, not sci-fi.) Why can't the good guys be good guys and there not be all this grimdark and realism and...I dunno. I like my heroes starry-eyed and full of wonder.
I am pro rather than against TLJ, but honestly, I've gotten to where everything other than the OT is essentially fanfic to me. I can take it or leave it*. Most of it is enjoyable, but I don't have to have it. It's just unnecessary. Just my two cents.
Anyway...hi!
Also: Rose is the bomb, Kylo's ship is silly but pretty, and...
