If you don’t understand or like Rey’s character, too bad for you. But her story is much more fully formed.
Being a fan of the OT, I understand Rey’s character 😉
Her story isn’t “much more fully formed”, it’s just more explicit. In which grade that’s undoubtedly a better thing, I invite you to enlighten me.
To me, “Move, ball” will always be and say a lot more about Han Solo still being Han Solo than having 15 minutes wasted with the “guabian death gang”; but whatever.
Hasn’t it occured to you that perhaps the whole point of Cassian wasn’t to go somewhere? Maybe he was just all about showing the unavoidable fate of a soldier, and the shit that war is and how it hardens a human being.
I can understand that in the midst of this nineties youth, the idea that not everybody has the opportunity to choose in life doesn’t seem as appealing as all the free will stuff that sinks us today. But stories and characters that end up exactly where they started, (greek tragedies, death in samarra, etc.) are just an equally valid part of the spectrum.
