“I think I should be manacled. It won’t stop the love scene. I mean, I don’t have to put my arms around Leia to kiss her. I can’t see how they would indulge in more than a straight kiss in such circumstances. It has to be rough and brisk and over with. As I pass by her, I think Leia ought to say very simply, “I love you.” If she says “I love you,” and I say “I know,” that’s beautiful and acceptable and funny.” — Harrison Ford.
Hey guys! I decided to play around and do some minor editing on my recording from my Part One review on TLJ. It’s the same audio recording on soundcloud, just now there are visuals to guide you along the way. Let me know what you guys think, and of course, I would appreciate likes, comments, etc. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy!

The Last Jedi (Drunk Now Sober) Review and Thoughts: PART TWO
It’s 2018 now, and I continue to babble about how cool The Last Jedi is despite the "controversy" amongst Star Wars fans. I further explain how Rian Johnson fantastically crushed fandom expectations for this film, address the importance of the “Where’s Han?” line, and pickup my review where I left off with the reylo elevator scene all the way to the end of the film.
Please excuse my ugly ass, nasally and strained voice. Feel free to contact me and tell me what you guys thoughts, and I hope you enjoy my fangirling and analysis!
