I could go on and on about how Daisy Ridley’s Force Awakens heroine has inspired everyone in my home, how just seeing her makes our hearts jump and my daughter’s dreams fly, or I could post this sweet video of another family’s little girls spying Rey in costume, filming Episode VIII in County Donegal, Ireland, and not say a word. I think I’ll do that since, a) it’s a quick end to the same goal, and b) so effective and so cute.

I mean, who among us wouldn’t react just the same? Their happy squeals made my day, and after John Boyega’s ambiguous and ***Spoilerish Episode VIII comments,*** I’m happy for a little pick me up. Click below if you want to read what he says about Finn and Rey.
In a new interview, Boyega also asserted that Rian Johnson’s take on Star Wars will be “bigger” and “darker” than TFA. I say, “Bring it!”
Finally, also from Donegal come reports that Ridley, Johnson and Mark Hamill and other Episode VIII cast and crew hit a local bar, where they enjoyed a “sing song” and posed with the band.
