🚨THE LAST JEDI IS SCREENING IN LONDON WITH A RIAN JOHNSON INTRO ON 9 OCTOBER 🚨

There are still tickets available for this! It's really gone under the radar, but is probably the event of the year for any London (or even UK) based Reylos - go and snap those tickets up while they're still available!

Me listening to Jaws of Jakku and hearing Constable Zuvio mentioned:

Unfortunately not - no audience questions or Glass Onion intro, presumably because the event was overrunning.

Rachael "Syril's Beret" @rachael1918.bsky.social · 12h

Yes for sure! It was prompted by Nia remarking on how much she admired Rian for the truthfulness of his depictions of class in his movies, and she specifically name checked The Last Jedi as a good example.

Unfortunately I had to leave before Glass Onion as the event was radically overrunning and I needed to get home before my trains stopped. I'll be tired tomorrow, but am very glad I went.

Had a fantastic time at the Knives Out screening w/ Rian Johnson Q&A. Nia DaCosta was an excellent moderator and the discussion was fascinating - I was particularly interested to hear how personal Finn's storyline in TLJ was to Rian (he compared it to his own experience of leaving religion).

Am seated for the Knives Out double bill and am having to refrain from the Star Wars convo going on behind me 😭

The Duellists (1977):

I'm just saying, we could settle this with swords, instead of 30+ emails. 🤺

The beads read "this email could have been a duel | fight me"

Haha yes I'm pretty sure those statues have been there ever since TFA, and there's something reassuring about their continued presence.

Was on Oxford Street last night so was fannishly obligated to go and check in on Reylo at the Disney Store. Both as iconic as ever.

While I figure this out, my initial thoughts are that:
A) Rian is humble and constantly deflects praise to himself to praise for the franchise

B) He super loves SW and tried always to make something true to what he loved as a kid

C) He’s very much focused on the positive reception of fans

Okay while I can't make the screening of TLJ, I've just booked a ticket to the Knives Out double bill on the Friday w/ Rian Johnson Q&A. I couldn't be more excited!

This is the most wholesome canon Ben Solo content ... perhaps ever? Great art.

Was in central London at the weekend and a very sweet tourist stopped me to ask if I could direct her to 'Shaftesbury' (meaning 'Shaftesbury Avenue') - it was probably the most American moment I've experienced directly in years.

Aargh that really is so difficult! Hope you can make it work but if not I'm sure all the notable comments will be shared online.
