The Star Wars: The Force Awakens press tour rolled through Shanghai over the break, which I’m sure BARELY gave these people any time for family. Still, the glowing reviews make for a pretty stellar present. Personally — no spoilers — I thought the newbies were all excellent in this movie, especially when you look at it next to the prequels. Those things took a future Oscar-winner (Natalie Portman) and a generally well-liked actor (Ewan McGregor) and a relative newbie (Hayden Christensen) and churned out a chemistry-free, joyless three-movie dirge pocked by more wooden performances than you’d get in a forest. I mean, a LOT of emotional moments happen on Daisy Ridley’s face, and in close-up no less, and she carries every single one of them, to the point where I look forward to seeing our new pals in the next installment just as much (if not more) as any of the old ones. And now that I’m done rambling, let’s talk outfits.
