Ok, so I was thinking about the movie again and some different thoughts came to mind, such as Poe’s arc. I mean, sure he’s a hothead, but his entire arc isn’t his fault. Leia basically goes along with his plan to take down the huge monster ship I don’t remember the name (I’m sure she could’ve called off all the bombers and fighters if she wanted to, and she outranks Poe, so…), then when a lot of people die he basically takes all of the responsibility. And in the end, destroying the ship was the right decision anyway. Of course, these are nitpicks, so not valid criticism.

Another thing is that it seems the dark side and the light side of the force are inverted in the Sequel Trilogy. In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda tells Luke that the dark side is easier and more seductive. In Return of the Jedi Luke is tempted. That’s what it’s about - an easy tempting way, in exchange for your humanity and the good in you. The light side, on the other hand, is just as powerful, but you have to be fully committed to it, hardworking, focused, you have to let go of things that will not be good for you. Resist the temptations. It’s the hard path, the one that takes time.

But when you come to think about it, Rey is more in tune with the ways of the dark side, while Kylo’s journey resembles that of a Jedi, or a light side user.

I’m sure all of this has been mentioned already, but these are just some quick few thoughts that came to mind, that I felt are worth sharing.
