However while there was a period in my life when I really loved the franchise. Nowadays I’m more of back seat fan who will watch the new stuff if word of mouth is positive, which is why I watched Andor.
But since it’s May The Fourth I got it into my head to do a Star Wars Post so here we are. And since I’m me and I love jewelry and studied jewelry fabrication for a time, I thought let’s rate the jewelry from the Star Wars movies – even though Andor has lovely costumes.
There were more than I initially thought. Like Way More.

This post is going to be a little different in tone from my other Bridgerton ones.
One of the major pitfalls of Bridgerton is that after a Bridgerton sibling has their leading season their roles in the show are is diminished -this also extends to their love interest as well. This comes at the expense of characters having to their development stagnant while waiting for their season, this mostly has only really impacted Eloise.
