Battles of old

May the Fourth be with you, for those who celebrate! It's Star Wars Day, and I thought it would be perfect time to make a tribute to Rey! :D

"Rey who?"

Well, I really like the ending of Episode IX, no matter what haters say. I dunno why some fans are so gatekeeping of the Skywalkers family, seems they don't get the meaning of the scene at all. Anyway, if she would reply "Palpatine", I also would be happy, cause I like that plot twist, and actually her music scene hinted at that from the very first film (there's a cool video explaining that).

By the way, I already made a tribute to Dark Rey, because as a Sith, I really appreciate all things Sith, even their Light Side descendants. xD

I didn't like Episode VII at first (too much like Episode IV), I had mixed opinion of Episode VIII (very impressed by throne room scene, but hated Luke acting not like Luke), but Episode IX saved the Disney Trilogy for me (by many things, one of which is making Rey and Kylo a Force dyad, which means something like brother and sister through the Force, and NOT a couple, thank goodness!). But regardless of my opinion of the new films, I always liked how Daisy Ridley played Rey (I was going to say "I always liked her character", but that's not quite true - in my review for Episode VII I did call her Mary Sue, but my opinion of her grew better in later films, and also they explained her powers). I can't wait for return of Daisy Ridley in "Star Wars: New Jedi Order" film, which is currently in pre-production. :)

This particular minifigure is also a very special for me (but that's another story), so it was a matter of time before she would appear in my pictures. :) I mean, as Rey, because her face has already appeared few times as one of my characters. ;) But for 7 years I had no particular idea for a scene with Rey until now.

There's no deserts in metropolis, but recently I found a sand "mountain" and took a really cool picture with my dragon. As I said back then, it's probably not a good idea to take pictures with minifigures here, but not for the reason I thought. The real reason is it hard to get them stand straight, when they're actually on 45 (or something) degrees relative to the ground, so this picture was hard to take. Anyway, a few days ago I remembered I have a tiny Star Destroyer, and I immediately thought about that cool scene from "The Force Awakens", and that's how I finally knew how to make a tribute to Rey. So when yesterday I realised it's Star Wars Day and I forgot to prepare anything I decided I should return to the place and take a picture now and not on Sunday/next week, as I intended.

Thanks for reading, and also you can check out those two absolutely epic covers of Rey's theme:
