Yeah. That was the antidote for a lot of the bad feelings I've been having.

Sweet, and sad, and the most adorable Jyn Erso ever!

(Flagged post for excellence. SO TAKE THAT, ART!)

That was my favourite part of the movie, Jyn hand delivering the plans to Leia after escaping Scarif.

This is so adorable!

She also has a Rey ensemble, complete with a Millennium Falcon!

Dear Disney: give her a cameo in the next film, I don't care how you do it.

Dino Ignacio... Dino Ignacio... The name should ring a bell for anyone who remembers Bert is Evil. He also wrote and illustrated a children's book for adults in like 98 or so called 'Its All Your Fault' featured a great part that said 'Daddy drinks because you cry'. Oddly I can't find it on his portfolio anymore...

Christ, does everyone in the Empire know about the plans??

It's like an RPG where you can buy the super secret map over the treasure dungeon from the village idiot ALSO, WHY THE HELL WOULD I BUY A PAIR OF PANTS LITERALLY CALLED WORTHLESS PANTALOONS FROM YOU AT A PREMIUM YOU JERK. I HOPE THE DRAGON BURNS YOUR​ STORE TO THE GROUND

We also would have accepted:

Falcon with a tutu
It's not strange
It just wants to live its life this way

There's a bigger gallery of delivering the plans images. (Link in the article is busted at the moment.)

The last copy of the plans hit me right in the feelings.

I can't find a way to link to it, but in the gallery fifteen schnitzengruben is my limit links to above there is one with an older woman as General Organa, and that's the one that made me weepy.

From his imgur links, there's this. For the premier he and others made a bunch of the plans to give to kids in line, then had others trying to convince the kids to give them up.

My favorite thing about the new Star Wars movies is that now some kids will be REALLY into Star Wars and their parents will spring for the goofiest stuff because they're ALSO way into Star Wars and they're excited to support their kid doing all the crazy stuff they wish they could have done when they were that age.

"I really want to do all these Star Wars related things but my parents won't let me. They just don't get it."

Well kids, you've got an entire generation of parents that really get it, maybe even more than you do.

I think my favourite thing about the new star wars is how this will annoy a vocal minority of anti-feminist assholes. It's not Princess Leia, it's General Leia. Women can be rebels, or rogues, or jedis, or ghostbusters. They can ride dragons and be the hero for a change. Disney has a lot to answer for with it's princesses that need rescuing, but they're making the right moves and providing some good role models FINALLY.

I think Penny Arcade have offered a contrasting opinion a couple of times.
