I actually dropped 2 bucks and bought it on Amazon (I have all the seasons I own, 1 thru 8, on Amazon streaming). I figured I really want to support it, I’ve got a gift cert from Christmas, and spending a little will make it clear I and others who do so are serious since I’m sure Amazon shares that data with the producers.

Ooooh. That’s a super smart idea!

I’ve not seen it and never heard a word out of Kaia’ s mouth and I already ship it…

lol. Wait ‘till you see them flirt and hold hands. 

The episode is up on the CW website right now so if you wanted to you could.

I’m potentially interested, what’s the content gonna be (like, if it’s mostly Reylo I’d pass cause that’s not really my thing but if it’s general SW or relatively balanced multiship then I’m in…)

I mean, I’m honestly not sure where it’s gonna go. It’s multiship and rn I think there’s more finn/rose than anything else but reylo is still my favorite ship and kylo is still my favorite character so… 

There’s also the matter of me seeing star wars as a myth with parallels to itself and Western and Eastern symbolism and archetypal literary theory which means I’m more interested in analyzing the tropes, the colors, and how the story comes together. The whole story, PT, OT, and ST. (And I have my biases and such so I’m not objective.)  

So I guess if you’re interested in a tally of just how many vaginas there were in The Last Jedi and how Luke was the first Jedi with a normal childhood in between the shippy stuff it might interest you.

*hugs* I saw the other comments and replies to this…a certain type of manipulative abuser courts young, vulnerable or dependent people outside the family and treats them like gold. It shores them up in the public eye and in their own head it’s a way to hide from that niggling guilt that they done fucked up.

In these cases the ploy only works if they aren’t around the other person much. The more exposure the more the masquerade starts to wear off. I’ve seen this play out with my grandfather, FIL, and a friend in college. It’s not about you and is not your fault. He couldn’t care for you or treat you like you deserved because he’s incapable of that, just as he truly is incapable of It with the youth he’s mentoring. Because his kindness isn’t about them, it’s always about

Himself, and again – the longer they’re with him the more evident that will become. Hopefully they’ll have the tools to recognize the signs, cause I wouldn’t want them to be hurt, just as I wish you hadn’t been hurt.

*hugs* Thanks. I really do hope that something falls through and he doesn’t actually do mentoring or they recognize that he’s not fit for it. 

What’s always pissed me off, aside from the fact that he was out mentoring other kids instead of being a father was that he was always so much better and more inspiring to them than he was at home. I get why he does it I just wish he wouldn’t for a million reasons. I hate that he gets away with it and I hate that I can’t really do anything about it. He doesn’t listen and he doesn’t really seem to get it when he’s called on his behavior or he gets defensive and… yeah. He’s a pain in the ass. It’s not fair and it’s not okay but talking about it and having people who support me helps a lot. 

Hopefully something falls through and it doesn’t work out or they recognize he’s not fit for the job.
