There's angst, lightsabers, spaceships and sh**, and a dude with his shirt off - honestly, I don't expect anything beyond that.
(Sorry die-hard Star Wars fans, but let's face it, the stories and dialogue were never what your nostalgia-happy brains purport them to be... Please don't hurt me.)
Still, I get that a lot of people would've preferred more of the original trio in the current films.
I mean, we all have our faves, and these characters have been beloved for decades despite the casual sexism and accidental incest.
(Honestly, I absolutely love Star Wars! Han, Luke, Leia and co. are the bestest in my books! I'm just been sassy with you all, m'k? 😉)
This week's fic hangs around with those famous three for just a little longer!
Now, normally all the testosterone-laced engineering and who did what in what battle pi**es me the hell off - but this actually doesn't! This is so absorbing that I don't get irritated as all hell! (Woop!)
Fellow book bloggers may recognise this week's fic author! 😉
This week's fic, then, is:

I love both the original and new Star Wars! I don’t understand all the hate towards the new one. I love Kylo, I think he’s a great villain, and Finn and Po are so awesome! Also, who could possibly hate BB8?!
ReplyDeleteYes! Love all the things!!!! Lol. XD
DeleteWow, thanks for sharing my fic! I'm honored! And I'm glad you liked it despite my original- ness ha! Although to be honest, I'm good with lightsabers, whether it's old OR new. Just give me the lightsabers- and I love Rey!!!
ReplyDeleteLol, you're welcome! (Lightsabers are awesome!) XD
DeleteI have to admit, I love Star Wars like crazy. BUT YOU ARE SO RIGHT. The original dialogue wasn't always amazing. Maybe in 4, 5 and 6 it was but the dialogue in the prequels was just cringe worthy xD I have to say I loved Rogue one but am not the biggest fan of the characters for the new Force Awakens based ones. I wouldn't have wanted more of the originals but also not them ahaha. What does that leave me with?
ReplyDeleteHa, I think it leaves you with the spin-offs like Rogue One! ;)
