Women have always been there. remember whenever a Serious Historical Movie is made showing Serious Historical Things that include only a parade of unbroken men, that is a deliberate filmmaking choice.

My thoughts after watching the Solo teaser

I trust myself. I trust my instincts. I know what I’m gonna do, what I can do, what I can’t do. I’ve been through a lot, and I could go through more, but I hope I don’t have to.

HOW MANY STAR WARS FANS ARE THERE ON TUMBLR? REBLOG IF YOU'RE ONE!

As much as I loved “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” am I the only person who’s pissed that there wasn’t a scene with Kylo Ren and Leia face-to-face?

Like him and Han Solo had one, him and Leia should’ve had one too. I felt like Ben was a person who really loved his mother, that’s why he couldn’t shoot the ship that she was on. Now, they can never have that pivotal scene. RIP Carrie :/

There’s really nothing quite like when you go to the cinema to see a new Star Wars film, and there’s that moment when the STAR WARS title comes up on the screen and you hear the first notes of the theme.

There truly are no words to describe that feeling.
