and I love seeing kids responding to Rey and Kylo and the new cast.
Why?
I think it’s just really cool how this franchise had endured across generations. Most films from 1977 are just ‘old movies from 1977’ now. With SW we are still following the same story 40 years later! It’s so awesome to see kids at Comicon dressed as Rey and Kylo and Phasma, knowing that I was enjoying the exact same feelings when I was their age. Call me sentimental I guess!
With regards to Rey, whatever fanboy misgivings I may personally have about the writing, I do think its great that Kathleen K. and co. have given young girls their own Luke Skywalker to look up to and dress up as.
