Yay, Sleemo is back. Anyway, Happy Revenge of the Fifth everyone! In honour of Star Wars day, I saw people on twitter tagging their 4 fav Star Wars characters, so I thought I'd add my own:

#4FavouriteStarWarsCharacters




As you can see I'm a sucker for the Solo family and big ol' Darth.

@Riri

I wonder who the person was that didn't know Paige's name.

So "Rey's looking at something the rest of us can't see" is ..? Huh, interesting way to word it.

@special_cases
I agree. Is it something or someone?

That excerpt from Rose's book makes me hope that she'll be supportive of Rey when sith hits the fan and the Resistance finds out she's been hooking up with the Renperor. She seems very perceptive. And let's be real, we need female friendships in this franchise.

Hello new poll on SW website "What is your favourite Star Wars movie"

I gave TLJ some love, Empire is currently leading by quite a bit.

I voted for TLJ - but I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised it's on the third place considering how much of a backlash it received.

I´m too dumb to insert a screenshot, but when I voted this evening, TLJ was at first place with 25%, and ESB was 2nd with24%.  
Probably too much dirty Reylos out there.

I've just voted and TLJ is in 1st place with 31%

Strange that TFA is only at 5%.

I'm a little surprised at the RotS love there. Then again, there are more big prequel fans than the "true" fanboys would have you believe. It's an entire generation's (meaning my generation's) SW.

Yes,@Darth Dingbat I am also surprised at the lack of TFA love too, given its success and the recent upswell of support it got in the wake of anti-TLJ sentiment.

@rawpowah

I like these TLJ numbers. I think that a *lot* of that love has to do with Kylo and Reylo.

I don't actually know my SW rankings, but I picked TLJ just because. Here's what it looks like now. Outstripping Empire by quite a bit. Surprising, given recent events.

Yup. That's the sole reason I picked it tbh.

I see Fandango slightly got over their Kylo butthurt.

I think TLJ's numbers compared to ESB are a bit inflated, as they always tend to be when fans start voting repeatedly for their favourite. But I find TFA's very low number interesting because it suggests that those who love the ST prefer TLJ, Reylo and all, and therefore like the direction the trilogy is headed into. At least according to this poll, there doesn't seem to be many fans who stanned TFA and its characters but went into conniptions about Reylo.

Conversely, it does suggest that those ST fans who lost their good will for TLJ lost it for the entire trilogy, and aren't waiting for JJ to "fix it".

Well, either way, TLJ's target audience is now the entire trilogy's target audience, and going back to TFA mode would only serve to lose the good will of those who actually love the ST now. But I didn't need the poll to tell me that...

@rey09 They are at stage 3 of the five stages of grief.

I'm shocked Attack of the Clones is higher than The Phantom Menace. Creepy Anakin stares is not better than Padme taking back her palace or Qui-Gon freeing Anakin (even Jar Jar) or the underwater sequences or the overarching story of people helping people and symbiotic relationships. I wish people could see the bigger implications and importance of the story in the whole epic. As there's so many underlying things that I could see becoming important in Episode IX.
