Do you want me to see if there's anything like a good quality notebook with Leia or Rey on it when I'm visiting the filming locations in Tunisia?

Thank you! That would be lovely. I don't expect they'll have it (I am very not trusting of merchandisers), but I still hold out hope!

Funny you mentioned this... I was at Barnes & Noble earlier today and saw the Moleskine that had a picture of Han Solo on the front. That was the only one I saw, and I didn't buy it, but I was pretty tempted. :) Hope you eventually find the ones you are looking for!

I love Han Solo! But I would rather have a Leia or Rey notebook. I would even take a Han and Leia notebook. But! Maybe I'll get lucky and eventually they'll make what I want - because, believe me, Moleskine has never actually manufactured what I want.

I have nothing for this except *facepalm*.

Seriously, licensed merchandise producers, have we learned nothing? STILL?
