hamillhimself: SHOUT OUT to Adam Driver for no particular reason other than being an incredibly versatile actor, a truly kind person & someone who doesn’t get the credit he deserves for a delightful sense of humor or his expert karaoke skills.
I love and live for how The Last Jedi frames Ben’s moral choices in light of his love and potential happiness. He loves Rey and he wants to be happy with her and the only way to do that, the movie says, is through the straight and narrow path, through redemption, a true and deep change of heart that extends beyond just her. It tells us very clearly that love can’t survive if everything else in your life is opposed to it. You cannot have it and align yourself with death and destruction. The Last Jedi is quietly matter-of-fact in its affirming of what love needs to survive and it comes down hard against the darkness, exposing its barrenness and cruelty without moralizing.
That’s not a problematic story; it is the most breathtakingly moral and powerful thing I can imagine and I’m so grateful it exists.
ReyofSunshine 🌞 Dear child. I see your eyes. You already know the truth. Whomever you’re waiting for on Jakku, they’re
never coming back. But… there’s
someone who still could.
