ok so... this feels weird to say but i have Very mixed feelings about it.

(spoilers below the cut i guess but mostly just feelings honestly)

i never thought i’d be saying this but i think i wanted less?

like.... in some ways we got so much and in other ways....

god, my thoughts are everywhere. it’s so hard to write a reaction post even though i feel compelled to try.

i think what threw me off most was the pacing. i realize what i really wanted was a lot of quiet moments and drawn-out scenes. maybe some people feel like we got that? maybe that was totally not the right thing to expect from a star wars movie? i think i set myself up to want a ghibli movie... i literally had that thought when walking out of the cinema. (BUT DID WE NOT GET A NAUSICAA-ESK, ‘DAILY LIFE OF A SCAVENGER’ SEQUENCE IN TFA? ? DID WE NOT GET THAT? ?????) more ’nothing much happening’ moments on ahch-to for instance. and like... in some ways i’m super thankful the plot was so tight and well thought-out, etcetcetc (and i totally get that it has to be, i get that i get that). (well... nothing HAS to be anything... god bless me i was hoping this shit would be even more weird and nontraditional). basically it made me realize how little i actually care about the plot.

and like.... i really didn’t see this coming but, at least right now, after just my first viewing, i think i still like tfa better? the plot was definitely worse (in tfa) but i feel like we got more time to breathe? and the thing that drew me so much to the interrogation scene - i.e. the crux of my reylo feelings - was, i now realize, not just all the gothic juiciness but the fact that.... it almost seemed out of place in a star wars movie? it was so slow, and kinda rambling, and thoughtful? there were all these pauses? and like.... two solid minutes of just silently looking at each other and struggling with the force? ??????????

i expected there to be so much more subtext and so much less TEXT.  like............ we literally.... we LiTeRaLlYY got a force bond. we - i kid you not - we GOT A FORCE BOND and also a HEARTY serving of beefcake??? !!!!!!!

#blessed, i cannot believe, etcetc.

but like

in some ways.... i didn’t even need that much? ??????????????/

i just needed...... just like..... more atmosphere? more psychology? ? more weird cinematography? ?????? more unnecessary pauses? ??????

interlude for list of things i was lowkey sure we were going to get and missed: 

- a rematch

- kylo showing up on ahch-to (.... in the flesh!flesh) and like... skulking around for and indefinite period of time 

- a time-jump that would give us a sense of perspectives having changed and things being processed (i wanted everything to take more timeeee)

- OH YEAH I ALMOST FUCKING FORGOT. YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB OF BREAKING DOWN THE FALSE GOOD/BAD DICHOTOMY. BUT THEN YOU DON’T PRESENT A THIRD OPTION??? ??? YOU LEGIT GO BACK TO THE GOOD GUYS BEING GOOD GUYS? ????? I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS BUT WHERE IS THE ‘FINDING A NEW WAY TOGETHER’ GOODNESS ? ?? WHERE IS THE DISINTEGRATION OF OLD ORDERS IN FAVOUR OF A NEW, INDIVIDUALIZED PATH? ???? and i’m not just talking about the reylo shananigans i’m talking about EVERYTHING. 

i’m being way too harsh with that last bit - to be fair there was a lot of good discourse in tlj - shit is just never post-modern enough for my tastes. 

/end of list for now/

god this isn’t even real criticism cuz i know rian had so much to pack in and i legitimately think he did such a good job of doing that.

it’s just that it’s made me realize what i actually - ACTUALLY - loved about tfa (and this whole saga).

and even though a side-effect of that was being a bit disappointed with tlj on a personal level, it also feels so so good to remember what i enjoy? it’s like.... the story i really wanted was the story already inside me, however cheesy that sounds. and, though it’s surreal, it feels so good to feel re-connected to that story? and to realize that i’m the one who owns it? i’m the one who owns what i loved so much about all this; what i projected onto it. so... this is gonna sound fake but i am legitimately thankful for the disappointment. it reminded me what’s inside myself.

it is weird though because i don’t think i realized how vividly i’d imagined tlj. the actual, canon movie feels like a phantom version to me right now. my own version kind of feels more like the real one.

so i don’t think it’s that i didn’t like it. don’t get me wrong i think i lowkey loved it. it was just way more of a Conflicted Personal Experience, at least the first time around, than a purely cinematic one, if that makes sense. 

i suspect i will have a very different opinion after i watch it the next time, and the next time,and the next...

things i wanna give a shout out to though:

-lolololololololololol, like i said, the beefcake goodness. what on earth. in what reality. also the little snarky exchange just before. what on eART-

-the mirror cave thing - thank the sweet lord for that

-luke carrying that fish

-being ‘no one’ (jesus on crackers i could not be more happy with that)

- finn....... i loved him but i needed more of him. ngl i needed everyone to struggle even more. i needed everyone to have long monologues; i needed everyone to really internally debate a bunch of shit and to just be character-ing it up all over the place. i want every character ever to be hamlet.

-also lolol, if we’re still making the atla parallels (and you know i want to), can we consider this ‘the crystal cave’ section? ??? ! like.... crait caves = heightened shipping moments but also betrayal? ???

i’m not bitter about zutara

- rose was just fucking great. she better be alive? ?? the paige thing was predictable but i’m so glad i had a vested interest going in; i cried.

- shout-out to the kylux shippers; i feel like y’all had a good few moments of Quality Content and i was looking out for you

- holdo <3

- lots of ladies flying things

- leia ? ????? <3

Oh yeah but what was the ‘’twist’’ do y’all reckon? i legitimately don’t know? the luke thing i guess? there’s a few things that could be but nothing felt super super unexpected to me? 

oh wait no i just remembered. i think the twist for me was snoke dying. lol i was wrong about kylo not being the Big Bad. i definitely wanted him to be even more pathetic. like super super not having his shit together. don’t get me wrong, h’s a  fucking mess. i just kinda hoped he would totally break and there would be nothing left but exquisite vulnerability.

this could go so many directions now - i both love it and hate it.

it was a good one, guys
