“There has been an awakening.”

Why does it have to come from her parents?

It is kind of lame storytelling to just have things ‘appear’ out of the blue. - Why is Rey so powerful ‘cause she is’ is not very satisfying.

Agreed. Setup and payoff. We have the setup, but no payoff.

Kind of like in ESB where Han is frozen?

There’s still another movie to go.

Yes, but I am not sure how you back out of some of the game-changing stuff and make it right…

Maybe we find out that Kylo was lying about Rey’s parents.
Maybe we find out that they never found the real Luke Skywalker and he was projection of Snoke
Maybe we find out that Rey was being possessed by Yoda’s ghost and that is why she needed training not.

I just don’t think there is any way the next movie can walk back some of this stuff except maybe Rey’s parents.

One thing I do know is there is a much better TLJ out there in an edit bay.
