Harrison Ford knows what’s up.
tag yourself, im sad ren
This is not nearly as fun as Emo Kylo Ren on Twitter.
rey’s not a skywalker … or a kenobi … she’s a woods
Why is everyone so upset about this? Rey is not Luke. Rey is a character we’ve never seen before. She might be the strongest person with the force ever; we don’t know.
So. Much. Green. Learn more about Takodana in the official Star Wars Databank.
I’m not going to even about this. Not. Even.

A quick little comic I drew up about Ben Solo and Chewy’s complicated friendship.*edit* made the comic into a photoset for better reblogging :) full rez version is here: http://bit.ly/1QNDOmo
Interesting thought, for sure.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens revolves around the story of staff-wielding scavenger Rey.
(That’s hardly a spoiler; she’s front-and-center in the movie poster, after all.)
But in the world of Star Wars toys, Rey’s been hard to find — and fans took to social media, under the hashtags #WheresRey and #WhereisRey, to complain about all the movie merchandise that left her out.
Target’s Star Wars figurine 6-pack? Finn, Chewbacca, Poe, Kylo Ren and two unnamed characters: a Stormtrooper officer and a First Order TIE fighter.
Central heroine: Nowhere in sight.
Bedspread? No Rey. Disney store display? No Rey. Barnes and Noble bobbleheads? No Rey. Walgreen’s shelves? No Rey.
In some of the Rey-less displays, her products might not have been stocked by individual stores — or may have sold out.
But in many other cases, toys featuring her simply hadn’t been released.

Sexism in modern culture.

Nigeria is falling in love with Star Wars.
There are two reasons. There’s a growing nerd culture in the country — young people who love science fiction and see it as a way to imagine our own futures as something better than our present. We also have an annual Comic Con in Lagos. And last year a friend and I started an online “speculative fiction” magazine, Omenana.com, which has helped promote a new generation of sci-fi writers and artists.
The other reason: John Boyega.
Boyega is the son of Nigerians who settled in Britain. He plays Finn, a disillusioned Stormtrooper in the new movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And he’s proud of his heritage.
“I’m grounded in who I am and I am a confident black man, a confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man,” he has posted on Instagram.
Nigerians are already familiar with Boyega. He was in the U.K. sci-fi flick Attack the Block and played Ugwu the houseboy in the film adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie’s novel Half of a Yellow Sun.

This is why “The Force Awakens” is good: inclusion.
Stay close, BB-8!
I appreciate how they gave BB-8 real-ish feelings/emotions.
I’m no one.
Rey is a great character. It’s just a shame that she’s wrapped up in a glorified, darker remake of “A New Hope”
“She expressed her true feelings for me.” Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Me.
Wait, is this real?
