First -- he's MY space husband! I have the battle scars to prove I'll fight for him. (BTW, the black eyes appeared yesterday. I look just lovely ( ... )

:D Cheers for all those having a wonderful time in all the ways - not just watching, but talking and connecting and crossconnecting and all the ways! :)

Oh gosh an update anonymous December 22 2015, 03:00:34 UTC

Yay an update and it's about star wars! I loved the movie and I'm so glad to hear your take on it, as an amazing fic writer and as someone who has lived within the universe for longer than I have. Does this update hearken towards more fic updates in the near(ish) future?
Thanks!

Carl and I saw it yesterday afternoon, and haven't stopped talking about it since. I cried, oh I cried. I cried for the Falcon's first appearance (and spent that first chase scene silently yelping over the damage they were doing to it - though, as Carl said afterward, that's about the way Han flew it, too). I cried for Han and Chewie. And then for Han and Chewie again. And again. I cried for Leia, for her weariness and humor and kindness and sorrow and love and pragmatism. The only one I didn't cry for was Luke's appearance, and that only because I was still emotionally gutted and had no tears left by that point ( ... )

Just back from seeing it. As you say, very very derivative - but so much fun! And Daisy Ridley was marvellous, every single second of her.

On a shallower note, I kept (okay, several times) mis-hearing "Snoke" as "Snork", and now I'm wondering how any of the Moomins could ever have turned to the dark side. I have a sad and twisted mind.

And I have been thinking for years that I would love to visit Skellig Michael, then thinking of the long, rough sea crossing and All The Steps, and thinking perhaps not. But oh my goodness it looked stunning.
