She’s much more hopeful than I am, and much braver than I am. For a woman who had been alone for such a long time to be so open to what’s going on, and letting journeys happen, and letting relationships happen, I think is really incredible.


Daisy Ridley.

#this might be my favourite sequence in the whole film #we have just witnessed this incredibly driven #focused and competent #young woman #work all day in the blistering heat #just to be able to afford one simple meal #she accepts the unfairness at the exchange depot with a hardened stare and a set jaw #and she does it all on her own #but THEN #then she comes home #and we see in a series of simple heartbreaking images that #not only is she alone here too and has been for some time #(the marks on the wall) #but she is still in many ways a child #the handmade doll #the helmet #she puts on that helmet and looks up at the sky and suddenly she’s six years old and you can see that in some ways #despite her hard exterior and her very adult resourcefulness #she is still that six year old child #despite the daily struggle of her existence she still hopes and plays and imagines #she’s not just capable she is STRONG #she doesn’t just survive #she lives #she collects flowers in a desert #and keeps them in a vase #i love her so much #i love this writing so much #this sequence might be my favourite bit of screenwriting of 2015 #star wars #the force awakens

OH MY GOD DOLLY NOBODY ASKED TO CRY RIGHT NOW

i noticed something. when finn and rey reunite at starkiller base, finn doesn’t instantly go to hug her even though we all know he’s really affectionate and that in actuality it’s rey that initiates the hug, and i realised that this is because finn remembers she doesn’t like the hand-holding. he remembers that it made her uncomfortable and he respected her and knew her well enough to refrain even though this man has literally run back towards his worst fear to save rey. you bet he wants to hug her. you bet he wants to hold her in his arms and make sure that that’s really her and that she’s really okay, but he doesn’t. finn doesn’t because he’s respectful of rey’s wishes and doesn’t want to do anything without her consent. 

this man is a true gift.
