Ooooh, it's my favorite too!!!! :D :D :D :D :D Yay, another TROS fan!!!! :D :D :D
that should've been Leia's speech to give, but, well, RL happened
This is how I feel about a LOT of TROS... and frankly why I love it so much; if they'd made a lot of the same choices with Carrie Fisher alive, I would... well, not. But they did the best they could under the circumstances.
the way Rey spared and healed Kylo because that was her Jedi Master's son while Kylo immediately stopped killing Rey because his Mom reached out to him and Rey was his Mom's student as excellent.
COSIGNING THIS SO HARD.
And I too like "Rey Organa" as opposed to "Rey Skywalker" although I understand that as being Leia's birth surname. And SO MUCH YES to wanting Rey to get a saberstaff! :D :D :D :D
Also cosigning the love for the "Dunkirk armada" at the end with the entire galaxy rallying. And it kinda makes sense to me that Lando would be the one to do it and not Leia--- I think I said something about this somewhere in this comm before, in fact. It makes sense to me--- we see in TLJ that there are some assholes playing both sides against the middle and making bank on it... and I suspect that Princess and Senator Leia Organa would have gone "straight to the top" in her bargaining for allies, and dealt with... well, the kind of people who would hedge their bets, planetary leaders and the like, the kind of people who would figure that their wealth&&power would let them survive whoever landed on top politically and weren't going to risk themselves for a lost cause--- or, even if they personally might have wanted to, they learned the object lesson Tarkin was handing out with Alderaan and perhaps felt they had a more immediate duty to their subjects/citizens/employees/etc. not to get them blown up. Lando, on the other hand, probably knew just how to get hold of anyone who had just enough means to own a ship, or even a fleet, of their own, and who was low enough on the wealth-and-power totem pole that the powers-that-be in a dictatorship would not only not have to play nice with them but would actively crack down on them. So Lando is definitely the one to recruit a grassroots army.
