Now, I realize it could seem like I have been sitting on this one in my back pocket or something.  Waiting to post Daisy Ridley until the most appropriate moment.  I haven’t.  That’s not how this blog works.  The truth is Daisy Ridley has been everywhere for a little while now, you know, the marketing push and all.  I just kind of shrugged and decided she was not really my type.  Well, it turns out if you put her in Star Wars she becomes my type.  I really should have seen this coming.  It’s the middle of the night and I just got home from seeing The Force Awakens and I really liked it guys.  I am a little distrustful of my own brain because I remember when we all saw The Phantom Menace.  This feels different though.  I rewatched the original trilogy this week leading up and the thing that struck me watching them was the human moments.  There is talk about how lived in the original Star Wars trilogy was but a big element also, and they kind of go hand and hand, was that it felt inhabited by real people.  The look on Han’s face when he tries to bullshit his way through a conversation on the detention level, Luke rolling his eyes, Leia having to deal with being the only woman on in the galaxy.  This feels the same way.  Not only lived in but we have a story, no matter how fantastic, about people, not about special effects.  Suddenly the dialog feels natural even though it’s talking about bullshit made up space ship parts.  This is because the new cast is so damn good.  They are perfect.  I kind of love how great they are in this.  I can’t decide who I like the best, John Boyega or Daisy Ridley but I am leaning Ridley at the moment.  She’s fantastic.  And her character Rey is great.  I really don’t think I could be happier with the new characters.  They are prefect.   And it turns out putting Daisy Ridly in weird Star Wars sand rags and having her walk around in the desert is what does it for me.  What an oddly specific thing to be into but man she was so damn awesome.  I totally call getting to be Rey when we play Star Wars guys.  Today I want to fuck Daisy Ridley.
