marcicat(Not actually Star Wars day, which is May 4th, but the day on which I will see Star Wars!)
*I am excited! While I'm not at all confident that I will love the movie with all my heart, I am 100% confident that I will enjoy the viewing experience!
*My absolute favorite part of transformative fandom is that I now think of movies like Star Wars as filmed fanfic. (That's someone's Star Wars fanfic, with an enormous budget, showing up on the big screen! I'm astonished!)
*Me: "I can't believe that [all the things I wanted to see happen in the Star Wars universe] didn't happen in this movie!" (I mean, in any of the movies, really.)
*Also me: "I can't wait to see it anyway!"
*Because I remain impressed by people who produce these amazing fanworks, who are like 'here's a thousand word ramble in which I've taken the entire SW universe and fixed everything,' or 'here's twenty-thousand words of fic about the salt guy, I've ignored 95% of what happened in the movie universe.'
*I JUST LOVE FANDOM, OKAY.
*AND NOW WHEN SOMEONE WRITES FINN AND REY AND POE ALL HUGGING, I WILL HAVE A VISUAL MEMORY OF THIS EVENT HAPPENING AND I LOVE THAT TOO.
