Perhaps if you wanted to start your film with Rey meeting Luke, you could have not put it at the end of your last film.
But that’s none of my business.
Two different "you"s there. One JJ, one Rian. Rey finding Luke was the conclusion of the story JJ was telling. Rey meeting Luke just happens to be the beginning of the story Rian is telling. Just because it’s never been done before in a SW doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be.
Wait… is this something that’s not a rehash? Surely that can’t be the case.
Jesus Christ, get a new joke already.
Ironic
