The TikTok meme/trend led me here, and I enjoyed my rewatch immensely. It holds up better than I thought it would, but Peeta’s camouflage is still laughably ridiculous. Way too intricate.

Saw the Chicago performance a few years ago, but it was super cool to see the OG cast perform.

Absolutely loved it. A near-perfect ending to a most excellent trilogy, and beautiful capstone on the Skywalker Saga. Bravo, Abrams. Bravo.

Edit: Oh, also, John Williams knocked it out of the freaking park with his final Star Wars score. Supremely powerful and extremely gratifying. Loved every second of it, and it absolutely elevated The Rise of Skywalker to dizzying heights. I’m so glad he was able to score this film.

bad. very bad.
