This is why I asked #WheresRey. This is why I think it matters, and why it irritates me that I was lectured by “true fans” about how Star Wars cheapened itself by having a more inclusive, diverse cast.
“Cheapened.”
No. You don’t understand. This is absolutely invaluable to me, as a parent. This means the world to my little girl, who sees herself in Rey, and to so many others.
So the Nerdist was right.
This is amazing.
And not just for my girl, no matter how cute she is in her fangirling (I admit a small amount of bias). It’s amazing for all the kids who can see themselves as heroes of this story with Rey, Finn and Poe now.
Honestly, Rick Rolling is the best practical joke ever. Like, there’s nothing offensive or mean spirited about it. It’s just like “Oops you thought there would be something else here but it’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.” which isn’t even a bad song. It’s fairly enjoyable to listen to. There’s no jumpscares, no screaming, no ill will. Just Rick Astley telling you he’s never going to give you up. I think that’s great. “You fell into my trap! Here, listen to this completely benign song that will have no negative effect on you.”
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
