"Shakespeare is secretly gay, cross-dressing and prancing around in the privacy of his cabin aboard the flying pirate ship, Caspartine. But his crew know all about Shakespeare’s wardrobe and sexual preferences, and play along anyway."
This film is based on a novel by Neil Gaiman, and is a typical example of his subversive attitude toward genre tropes.
Minor characters often take on a much bigger life in stories and sometimes move into starring roles in a sequel. They are like the stage actor in a TV show who takes over every scene they are in and you can’t wait until they show up again. These are the most fun of all when you discover you’ve written one of these gem characters. Ray, no doubt you’ve done that a time or two. I think Nohfa could be one of those characters if you let her.
Stardust sounds great- I have to find it and watch…Back to your subject: I think loose endings are usually a device that leaves open the possibility for a SEQUEL and for that reason I don’t like it. It’s like saying “to be continued”

Stardust is a wild ride, and surprisingly funny. I highly recommend.
