Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker…

what did you think? (I didn’t include spoilers)

My take: I loved the connections to the previous stories, especially the first trilogy. That vehicle! That helmet! That other helmet! That OTHER helmet!!

I loved the idea that there are more regular, good people out there than power-hungry bad guys..

“We’re not alone. Good people will fight if we lead them.” – Poe

I loved Rey’s struggle with where she comes from.

“She is not who you think she is.”

I loved General Leia Organa and her part in the redemption story. It was great (though bittersweet) that there was enough footage of the late Carrie Fisher to use for her.

I loved the strong female characters and the lack of romance as a main motivation. Although I like a good love story, sometimes other things happen which need tending to, especially when the Dark Side is trying to ruin everything.

I loved the quick break from work and kids. And if you hated this movie, I feel bad that you can’t just enjoy things. Hahaha. Share your thoughts!

Me trying out Rey’s hairstyle. In the end, I didn’t have time to tuck in all the ends, but I’ll try this again sometime with brown hair-ties.
