May the porg be with you.

EDIT: Porg pattern is up and running here!

OKAY OKAY I MADE A GODDAMN PORG. It was probably the single top suggested critter that I should make for Comic-Con this year, and I held out until I watched The Last Jedi first. And you know what? I’m not feeling the porg love. Sure, they’re kind of cute, but if I found one nesting in my spaceship you can be sure I’d chase that sucker out. I get enough problems with birds nesting in the vents of my house, ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat. INVASIVE SPECIES, I SAY. But I made one anyway because I like you guys. ❤

Stupid little penguin hamsters.

I AM PORG HEAR ME ROAR.

Otherwise I liked the Last Jedi. I didn’t LOVE it, but I liked it more than Rogue One, but not as much as The Force Awakens. I know there’s been loads of debates of over everything that happened in the movie, but either way I think it did its job, which was to set up the next movie installment. Otherwise here’s my thoughts:

AHOY! SPOILERS AHEAD!!

SPOILERS ABOUND!!

• Overall I felt like there was too much happening and yet not enough? Too many subplots, and within that some of the subplots dragged on.
• I thought it was hilarious how the first interaction between Luke and Rey was Luke taking his light saber and essentially saying “fuck this thing” and tossing it over a cliff.
• Loved the interactions between Rey and Kylo Ren. Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver were great at creating the tension and conflict between (and within!) their characters without resorting to over the top declarations or random shouting matches. One of my favorite moments between the two was when Rey quietly tells Kylo how she’s never felt more alone and he tells her “you don’t have to be.” Looking forward to seeing more of these two interacting in future movies.
• The sentient brussels sprout came back! It was nice seeing Yoda again. 🙂 BUT….unpopular opinion time: as much as I enjoyed seeing Yoda’s return, I didn’t think it was necessary to the movie. THERE. I SAID IT.
• Loved the entire casino scene in terms of visuals, but I felt like it could’ve stopped after they met Benicio del Toro’s character and skipped out on the “escape on alien horses” chase entirely.
• Holy shit, that silence when Holdo sacrifices herself for the rebellion! Chills.
• Sad to see Luke gone, but it was a good final exit. Loved the casual shoulder brush after Kylo tried to blast him into a pulp, and I especially loved how he drove in the whole “You think you’re cool?? I’m your uncle and don’t you forget it” sentiment, even at the very end. UNCLE LUKE STILL WINS.
• Thank you, Captain Salty, for informing us all that the planet has salt on the ground. For no reason whatsoever. Salt. Cool. Thanks.
• RIP Captain Phasma. 😦
• I loved that when Kylo revealed who Rey’s parents were, it was exactly as they’d advertised all along: nobody. Shitty parents who sold off their own daughter for booze money. Given there’s a possibility Kylo could be lying, but I’m hoping it stays true. I feel like it’d give a much better start to Rey as the newest generation of Jedi and it allows all of her upcoming accomplishments to be her own, and not because of some sort of fancy bloodline.
• I’m totally team ReyLo. They need each other, they understand each other more than anyone else in the world, but they can’t work together. At least not yet. 😉

END SPOILERS.

Otherwise this little pocket porg will be up for grabs at San Diego Comic-Con in July! Find him and he’s yours to keep. Please take him off of my hands, I don’t need a swarm of these around my house.

If you want to join my hunt for crocheted critters at San Diego Comic-Con this year, follow me on either twitter or facebook to track my drops! I just ask for two things if you find a critter: 1) Send me a photo of your new friend! 2) Let me know where the little buddy’s new home will be! Good luck, and happy hunting!
