STAR WARS : THE LAST JEDI
Ok, so first of all I’m French so it was released today in my country and I’ll try to tell you what thought of it.
It was definitely the best of the latest ones, the director really succeeded in distancing himself from the first saga if we compare it to “the force awakens”.
It was long in length but It wasn’t boring at all, you won’t even want to glance at your phone to check the time.
Many things happen, it’s really exciting, it’s funny, it’s beautiful, it’s also serious and there are several moments with twist plots more or less surprising although always without being disappointing.
There are a few things that are maybe a bit too much in the way that we can see that they are really trying to show this or that and we can see exactly that. It’s not always subtle.
Nevertheless, the film still has the « star wars’touch » in the way it’s made which is good because the director should distance himself from the first saga in regards of the story, the plot but not completely and certainly not in every way. So, there’s a good balance.
Overall, it’s personally one of the best Star Wars films ever. I wholeheartedly encourage you to go see it !

Masterlist
^^^*********************************************************^^^
“Hey mom” I said answering the hologram
“Hey sweetheart, I got to ask a favor of you” she said
“Shoot” I said sitting down in the pilots seat of my J-Type 327 Nubian royal Starship.
“I need you to pick up one of my pilots. His X-Wing crashed on Christophsis. It’ll be him and his droid.”
“Yeah I’m actually near Christophsis so I’ll pick him up and meet you at D’Qar.”
“Thank you sweetie see you soon” she said before ending the call.
See I was coming back from getting supplies from Coruscant. I haven’t seen my mom in person in years, calls all the time but I’ve been recruiting people for the Resistance also supplies for them to; Ships, parts, droids, etc. . .
^ ^ ^
I got to Christophsis, looking around for person and droid that my mom described. Suddenly I felt something bump into my leg, turning around I looked down to see a little BB-8 unit. He started beeping excitedly then it hit me it was the little BB-8 unit I use to fix up and play pranks on people with.
“BB! Oh My-” I kneeled down.
He started beeping excitedly and talking to me when a tall dark haired, handsome man walked up right behind him.
“BB-8 we don’t just run into people. I’m sorry, I don’t know what got into him.” the handsome stranger said
“No problem I actually know BB here. And I believe I’m your ride off of this rock.” I smirked up at him
“What?” he asked confused
“You crashed here, I was sent to pick you and BB up. Granted at the time I didn’t know the droid was BB here but that was a pleasant surprise. . . Ok you still look confused General Organa sent me.” I told him
“General Organa sent you?! Thank the stars” he exclaimed, and I couldn’t help but giggle.
“Yeah, lets leave. The sooner we leave the sooner we got to D’Qar, And you two back to the Resistance.” I told them making a motion for them to follow me towards my ship.
BB-8 started rolling straight onto my ship and the pilot followed behind me. Once we got on I shut the door and pushed the button for the landing pad to close. Walking over to the pilots seat I sat down and put in the coordinates to D´Qar and started to get us in the air. Once we got into space I put us in hyperspace.
“Ok so do-do you work with the Resistance?“ he asked, that's when I noticed he was seated in the co-pilots seat.
“Uh, yeah. I usually get supplies, smuggler when needed. “ I smirked in his direction
“You know I never got your name?“
“Thats because I didn't give it to you“ I told him stifling a giggle
“I´m Poe Dameron Resistance pilot. Seems you already know BB-8 here.“ He told me pointing to himself then to BB.
“Well short version my mom really trust me with stuff thatś why I´m in a lot of stuff thats off records and I'm trusted with a lot of classified information.“ I told him getting up to check system controls before we get any closer.
“Your mom. Wait whos your mom?“ he asked turning to look at me.
“Leia, well I guess to you its General Leia Organa.“ I said moving back to the pilot chair. Were coming out of hyperspace soon.“
I looked over to him he looked at me jaw dropped eyes poping out of his head, he looked dumbfounded
“Are you ok there?“ I asked glancing over to him
“General Organa has a daughter?!“ he exclaimed shocked, well more shocked then before
“Yeah, Leia and Han, mom and dad, General Organa and General Solo. They had twins, me and Ben.“ my voice flattering at the memory of my brother
“General Organa never talks about a daughter and Ive never met or seen you before?“ he said
“I - uh , haven't seen her in person in years just calls. So this will be interesting.“ ?I said trying to keep my voice steady
For the next hour or so we got to know each other and we even started flirting together. It's strange I think Iḿ getting feelings for him. I have never had feelings for anyone, crap. What do I do? Does he feel the same? I mean he's flirting back and I have been making him blush.
As we come out of hyperspace and I landed the ship next to some X-Wing. As soon as I opened the door and the ramp touched the floor BB zoomed out and Poe and I started walking off the ship.
“BB-8 nice to have you back. And you Commander Dameron.“ General Organa said before pausing as I poked out from behind Poe
“Hey mom, long time no -“ I squealed when Poe pushed me into the arms of my mother.
“It's great to have you back“ she said into my hair before kissing my head
“I missed you mom“ ?I told her wrapping my arms around her tight
“I missed you to sweetie“ she said, before we pulled away
I stepped back, she looked towards Poe
“I'm gonna need a full report in about a hour, Commander Dameron.“ she said to him, and he nodded. “We'll catch up later.“ she told me before walking away.
“So I bet your a really busy person Commander so I´ll see you around I guess“ I said awkwardly before I started to turn but then he grabbed my bicep turning me around. I raised my eyebrows at him.
“I was wondering could we - uh - if your gonna stay around awhile, maybe we - uh - could go on a date or hang out sometime?“ he asked in a stuttering mess.
“I get the feeling you don't do this often and that your normally really confident“ i smiled at his nervous face “yeah I would like that“
“Great!“ he said before kissing my cheek and off he went to give a report.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“y/n nice of you to show up” Leia mumbled as she saw her daughter enter the control room.
“Sorry, mom. R2 needed a screw tightened but it turned out he actually needed a tune-up and it all took longer than I thought it would.” y/n panted out of breath from running to meet her mother having been running late since R2 needed her.
“Its ok sweetheart.” Leia smiled at her daughter knowing how close her and R2 have been since she was even just a baby.
“Oh” y/n said letting out a breath, feeling better.
“I need you to take one of my pilots to the medbay.” her mother told her with a smile
“He can’t walk there or something?” y/n asked confused. If he was hurt why wouldn’t he got there himself?
Leia laughed lightly at the look on her daughters face “no he can walk but he refuses to go”
The look of confusion didn’t go away on y/n’s face. What did her mom want her to do about it? “So what do you need me to do?”
Leia smirked knowing her daughter would enjoy her idea. “I was hoping you could knock him out with the force and use it to take him there.”
“Against his will?” y/n asked trying not to smile so she stated biting her lip.
“Yeah, pretty much. He’s a lot like your father.”
“Stubborn to the outer rim and back?” y/n asked her mom. It was an inside joke they had when she was little about her father.
“Yeah.” Leia smiled and they both laughed
“Ok then” y/n stated and then left to go find this pilot that her mom said to knock out. Name on the paper he mother gave her said “Poe Dameron”.
Leia smiled watching her daughter. Hoping that her plan would work. One get Poe to the medbay, and two hopefully get the two to finally notice each other.
She was kinda glad that Han wasn’t at the base anymore. He would not approve of her trying to set their daughter up. Especially with a guy that risks his life as much as Poe does.
“Are you mister Poe Dameron?” y/n asked walking into the hanger and over to the pilot with an orange and white droid her mom said would most likely be with the pilot.
“That I am” the pilot smiled before looking at the woman before him up and down. His smile growing.
“Good. finding you was easy.”
Poe at that was confused. “What are you talking-” he started to ask before she lifted her hand up and suddenly his world turned black as he passed out.
“Hmmm, that was easier than I thought it would be.” y/n spoke tilting her head amused at how easy it was to knock out the best pilot in the resistance with the force.
“Who are you? Who do you think you-” one of the pilots nearby started questioning the Jedi knight.
I’ll stop you right there. I’m y/n Organa-Solo, and my mother wants Mr.Dameron here to go to the medbay.” y/n stated
“So she sent you to knock him out and take him to the medbay?” a different pilot asked.Y/n noticed he was the pilot that Poe was talking and joking with before she came over to them.
“Pretty much exactly that.” she nodded before using the force to lift Poe and start out of the hanger and to the medbay.
“I can’t wait to find out how this ends.” the pilot stated, laughing.
After getting him to the medbay they looked him over and stitched him up. Y/n waited there for him to wake up knowing that he might freak out since he definitely didn't pass out in the medbay.
A ‘umph’ noise came out from the pilot as he started to wake up
“Careful, don't want to pull your stitches.” y/n stated noticing him starting to move around harshly not knowing where he woke up or what happened.
“Why do I have stitches?!” Poes exclaimed looking at the woman that he was talking to before everything went black.
“Because you were hurt.” y/n told him stating the obvious
“I’m in the medbay?” Poe asked after looking around
“Uh, yeah. I brought you here. Direct orders from General Organa.”y/n smirked. Understanding why her mom asked her to do what she did.
“Of course” Poe grumbled laying back down
“You should have just gone when she asked you to the first time.” y/n said smiling at the pilot's frustration and amusement.
“Yeah, but you know I wouldn’t of met you then if I did.” he smirked looking at her
“I knocked you out that isn’t exactly meeting.” y/n laughed at his antics
“My bad. Poe Dameron, best pilot in the resistance.” he smiled introducing himself
“Y/n Organa-Solo, one of the last Jedi, and daughter of General Leia Organa and famous smuggler Han Solo.” She smiled back, introducing herself.
Flying Lesson - Poe Dameron
Poe Dameron x Solo Fem!reader
Warnings: none
Word count: 1253
Summary: Poe thinks the reader doesn’t know how to fly. So he’s going to teach her. But let’s not forget the reader is a Solo/Skywalker.
Authors Note: Poe talks a lot and is so busy maybe he doesn’t notice you can already fly.
Masterlist
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Y/n turned around at the sound of footsteps approaching to see Poe with an excited grin on his face. “Ok, ready for your first flying lesson?” He clapped his hands together, rocking on the balls of his feet.
Y/n sighed. She had tryed to tell him before when he first mentioned teaching her how to fly that she already knew how. “Yeah, but Poe I already-”
“Good. So I’m gonna teach you on my X-Wing.” Poe smiled even wider if that was even possible. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her into him before heading himself and her to the hanger.
Once they reached the hanger Poe leads them both over towards where his X-Wing is stationed. Y/n can’t help but think he really needs to shut up and listen more. She’s a Solo and a Skywalker, of course, she knows how to fly. Probably better than him. It’s in her blood. “So climb on up.” Poe gestured to the ladder, smirking at the thought of watching her go up. He always loved that view.
“Yes, commander” Y/n smiled up at him, saluting. If he didn’t want to listen then she’ll play along… Then shock the bantha shit out of him.
“Ok so…” Poe started as he got in, sitting right behind her in the tight space. Poe got to explaining all the controls, but all Y/n did was hum and nod along. “Got it?” he asked once he was done.
“Yup” Y/n stated kinda emphasizing the ‘p’ in the ‘yup’.
“Good now let’s take it for a test drive.” Poe clapped with his arms around her. Moving them to rest around her waist so they won’t be in the way when she started up and flew the X-Wing.
Y/n started up the X-Wing, one they were in the air for awhile Poe wanted to see how much she really listened to of his instructions. “Ok so now that we’re in the air try turning.”
Y/n sighed but kept it quiet so Poe wouldn’t hear. She turned the X-Wing like he said, it’s hard to not laugh but that would give it all away.
“Poe patted her leg in excitement. “Great. Now the opposite direction.”
“Like that?” Y/n asked him coyly, turning her head slightly to see him out of the corner of her eyes.
“Yeah just like that.” He smiled proudly leaning forward a tiny bit to place a kiss on her exposed neck. Y/n tryed shrugging him off and Poe started laughing. “OK, now I’m gonna keep my mouth shut.”
“Are you sure you’re capable of doing that?” Y/n snarked back at him. ‘Does he know how much he talks?’ she thought to herself. Besides if he actually ever shut up he’d know she can already pilot.
Poe laughed “Haha. But I’m just gonna sit here and you pilot. Let’s see how you do.”
Y/n smirked, “Prepare to be amazed, Dameron.” Y/n started to flip switches that Poe didn’t even explain to her about.
Poe tightened his grip on her slightly. “What? Wait what do you mean-”
“Ah, ah, ah, you said you’d be quiet Dameron.” Y/n tutted at him.
Once y/n stated pulling trick after trick in the air, she could feel Poe’s grip go deadly tight around her waist. Y/n was pulling tricks that her father taught her and tricks she learned from her force ghost grandfather.
^ ^ ^
“Wait!” Poe called after her. “Y/n wait up!” He called again chasing after her in the hanger but kept tripping over his own feet.
“Hey, mom.”Y/n smiled walking into the command center.
“Hey, hun. WHats up?” Leia reached her hand out towards Y/n.
“Well, remember what I told about Poe wanting to teach me how to fly.” Y/n took her hand, tilting her head in a mischievous way.
Leia rolled her eyes. “Yeah. Even though you already know how to fly.”
Y/n bit her lip nodding along. “Well, he just taught me how to fly his X-Wing.”
“I thought you were going to tell him that you already know how to pilot?” Leia questioned her daughter with a knowing look.
“I tryed but he cut me off, again. SO I just went with it.” Y/n shrugged her shoulders turning her gaze to the floor. Hoping her mom wouldn’t catch on to what she might have done.
“You didn’t.” Leia gave Y/n a pointed look but you could see the amusement behind her expression.
“He was so excited to teach me. SoI went along with it. Let him teach me the controls and button.” Y/n explained holding her hands up and shrugging her shoulders.
“y/n” Leia said in a questioning tone.
Y/n shrugged dropping her hands. “Then once we were in the air I might have shown him a thing or two.”
Leia smiled at Y/n “you shocked the Hut out of him, didn’t you?” She asked but it was more of a statement.
“Yu’p’” Y/n nodded confidently
“Y/n!” Poe’s scream came echoing through the hall as he approached the control room.
“Here comes flyboy.” Leia smirked at her daughter. Winking before walking away to give them space.
“Yeah.” Y/n huffed out before turning towards the direction where Poe is gonna appear. “Hey Poe.” she smiled at him innocently.
“Y/n. What in the Wampa was that?!” Poe asked with wide eyes and out of breath.
Y/n shook her head in question. “What ever do you mean Poe?” She let a small smile twitch at her lips.
“You know what! You pulled moves out there that not even I knew how to do.”Poe panted out, waving his hands around trying to get out what he was explaining.
“Well if you would have listened to me. I tryed to tell you that I already knew how to fly.” Y/n crossed her arms over her chest, popping out her hip.
“If you already know how to fly why did you still go on as if you didn’t know?” Poe asked more calmly. Copying her pose. Adding a tilt of his head.
Y/n let out a sigh dropping her arms to her sides. Grabbing Poe’s bicep and pulling him over to a spot in the room that's not so occupied with people. Giving them more privacy. “Because Poe, you were so excited to teach me, and I didn’t want to ruin that. It was adorable and telling you would’ve put a downer in the whole happy mood you were in. So I went along with it. Till you told me to take over for myself.” As y/n explained her side of things she could see Poe relaxing, she could see the wheels turning in his head. Y/n smiled at him, shrugging before continuing. “And honestly, we don’t get to have many carefree moments fighting this war. I had a great time having you teach me how to fly. Even though I already knew how to. It was fun.”
Poe shook his head with a wide smile on his face. He couldn’t help the laugh that escaped him. “What did I ever do to deserve you Y/n Solo.” Poe looked at her with adoration. Placing his hands on her hips, pulling her closer.
Y/n laced her hands together at the back of his neck. “I don’t know Poe Dameron. But I’m sure glad you did.”

Poe smiled as he left the mall bathroom to see Y/n/n still asleep. What saddened him a bit was that he got back not long ago from talking with Leia, and she requested him to wake her up. Considering they stay in the same room. “Y/n, it’s time to get up.” Poe spoke softly as he gently shook her awake.
“Go away. Sleep time.” Y/n grumbled, digging her head further into her pillow.
Poe chuckled “Well get up and go tell your mom that.”
Y/n shook her head ‘no’, answering with a quick reply. “No way.”
“Why not?” Poe asked raising an eyebrow in the process, confused and assumed by how fast she replied.
“Cause that would mean I would have to tell her why I want more sleep. That leads to telling her what you and I did last night.” Y/n stated as she turned to face him and moved to sit up in bed up against the headboard. She gave him a pointed look as if to make her point further. “An that’s never going to be a discussion I have with my mother.”
“Don’t want your mom to know about what we do in bed?” Poe smirked leaning in closer to her. He playfully went in to nip at her neck.
Y/n let out a huffed laugh. “Would you want to talk about what we do in bed with my mother? Or better yet, she’s your general.”
Poe stopped once he heard her words. He pulled back from her neck and nodded with a gulp. “Ok, ok I see your point.”
“Yeah.” She stretched out the word and nodded along with him. “What was the reason she had you come to wake me?”
“We have a mission.” Poe answered with excitement in his voice and eyes.
“Together?” Y/s asked shocked with wide eyes
“Hmmmhmm” he nodded with a smile
Y/n furrowed her brow “Why?”
“Why? What do you mean why?” Poe asked taken back by her response.
“She never pairs us together because we-” Y/n pointed between them. “-Are together. It’s a conflict of interest, it could cause problems with us and the mission. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad we get to have a mission together cause yes they are a rarity. But my question of ‘why?’ still stands.”
“Well, I do think I know why.” Poe said with his head tilted back and up to the side.
She squinted at him before laughing. “Please do share your knowledge.”
But when Poe looked at her once again the look in his eyes wasn’t a playful one. It was serious.
“The mission.” Poe started and Y/n nodded in acknowledgment. “It evolves your brother.” Poe finished and studied her face to see her reaction. After all he’s good at reading her.
“Oh” was all that left her mouth at his words.
“Are you ok?” Poe asked interlacing their hands together.
“Hmmmhmm: she hummed wordlessly
Poe reached up with his unoccupied hand to cup her cheek so she’d look him in the eyes before stating softly. “Hey, you know you can talk to me right?”
Of course, Y/n knew that. She trusted Poe with her life and all her secrets. He is one of the only people that know the story of what happened to her brother and who he is now.
“Are you going to be ok with that? With my brother being involved?” Y/n asked him Ben Solo or as he goes by now Kylo Ren has been a topic that leads to overprotection and a fight once between the couple. Y/n watched as Poe just sat there in front of her looking off at the wall, eyes very blank. “Poe!”
“I don’t like him.” Poe grumbled turning his attention back to her.
“I know” Y/n smiled sympathetically. Kylo had tortured him and all she understood his dislike.
“Everything he’s done.” he scoffed
“I know” she nodded in understanding
“The way he treats you.” Poes face tinted red thinking about how Y/ns brother treated her and the other members of his own family. “I can’t stand it.”
“I know babe, I know.” Y/n ran her hand that was free through his hair. Trying to soothe his anger and nerves.
“I’m not gonna let him touch you.” his voice was hard but Y/n could hear the vaurinbltliy behind it.
“You can’t control that-” As much as Y/n appreciated his protectiveness and care, she knows he can’t prevent her brother from doing anything. No one can. But maybe her, but she’s still to drained from the last encounter she had with him.
“I can damn well try.” Poe stated with no room for arguing. Doesn’t matter if the guy tortured him before or the fact that he is the brother of the love of his life. Kylo Ren is never gonna lay a finger on her, ever again. Not if Poe has anything to do with it.
Leia is one of the most interesting characters in the Skywalker saga and I'm so glad that the EU managed to explore all her facets.

star wars edit with WW84 trailer music | by voordeel_ts [x]
Part of what really gets to me about the whole “Carrie Fisher didn’t age well” thing is that years ago I watched this one woman show she did, which was absolutely fantastic.
But she spoke about the role of Leia and that gold bikini and the way people think of her, she joked about googling herself and seeing someone say “What the fuck happened to Carrie Fisher? She looks like Elton John!”
She was light-hearted, but she also said that if she had realised at the age of 19 that she was agreeing to step into that bikini and never age for the sake of young men’s fantasies, that she would not have done it. She spoke candidly about her weight gain and self esteem and self image.
So when I heard she was going to be in Star Wars I worried for her and about her, that people would be cruel about her weight. Then I saw she had lost a substantial amount of weight to reprise the role (because god forbid Leia gain WEIGHT!) and, like a fool, assumed that at least nerd boy jerks wouldn’t be critical of her looks.
Naturally I underestimated how shallow and ridiculous they are, never mind that she felt pressured to lose weight for them because they have gone in on her aging process now.
And it saddens me because she clearly went to great effort to physically “fit” the idea of Leia and it doesn’t matter. And it angers me because she should be allowed to age. And it confuses me because she looks fantastic??
Anyway, here is to Carrie Fisher, who looks amazing at any age, any weight, who is criticised even though she has aged better than her male co-stars and will constantly call that shit out.
Princess and General Leia are amazing, as is Carrie Fisher.
Leia Skywalker Organa Solo-
woman tries to hold together all that is light and good in the galaxy while the men go off like little boys to cry about stuff / have adventures... but she still feels she needs their help because the writers didn't let the character fully grow and explore her own vast powers... woman could have been a fuckyeah! princess - general - master jedi knight - mom... but nope. she's relegated to being a smile and wave disney princess. who needs the help of idiot boys. because she supposedly made the choice to not be a more powerful being. idiot boy writers made that choice.
