Speechless at the speech
What a time to be a Star Wars fan.
This whole arc felt like Tony Gilroy saying "you know what, I've got one incredible shot at saying everything I ever believed in and I'm gonna do it in Star Wars." And oh boy, are we the better for it.
No, this is not escapism anymore, it's cold hard reality. And it tells the most pressing issues of our time with clarity and urgency. I cried a lot during my first watch and even harder during watch two of this arc.
To see my beliefs, concerns, fears and activism represented in my favourite galaxy feels incredibly special to me. Thank you to Tony and the team, to the cast, to Kathleen Kennedy for pushing this and all our most beloved stories.
Fight the Empire.
