And she corrected me: "Today is RevengeOfThe5th, white girl".
I didn't know what the fuck she meant at first.
Well, she's not Mexican? That's about all it means to me.
I was a big fan of the franchise growing up, but then again, I was like 6-to-10 when the original ones came out. I like hard science fiction better than fairy tales in space now, I guess I outgrew it?
Rey bothers me. I like her character, but honestly she should have grown up looking like somewhere between speedball strawberry, and Teriyaki Turkey Slim Jim the way she grew up. Not drinking blue milk on a moisture farm, but I bet you could drop her off at the equator on Arrakis, and she'd be just fine.
I kinda like that they age her up, and add a little figure in the fanporn, but Daisy Riddley looks too good for that role. She shoudl be weathered, so no matter how well she plays the role, unless she pulls a Therone (Like she did in Monster) I'm just not going to be able to suspend my disbelief. She used to scrap the ruins of star destroyers, with home-made tools.
She should at least have some callouses, if not scars.
