Just another fun thing, no one seems to talk about how Luke destroyed an entire hut with the wave of a hand (when Kylo and Rey were almost touching hands). That was also one of my favorite scenes. And I loves how he outclassed Rey with the stick too.

Yes, I agree with you on the hut scene. You think Luke outclassed Rey with the staff? I thought Luke eventually got cornered by Rey there. Interesting.

She did corner him, but she pulled the lightsaber to her. If Luke wanted he could’ve taken the lightsaber instead of the stick and the duel would be over in 10s. In other words, she cheated.

Unfortunately Rey just annoys me so much and that makes me so sad, because I’d be loving the new movies I think…

Really? Why? Rey’s supposed to be the protagonist there, the one you sympathize with. Luke is not supposed to be a sympathetic characer, at least in the first part of the movie.

Yep, I know. That’s why it’s unfortunate. She annoyed me in TFA because mostly of the mind trick, and I didn’t really sympathize with her cause or didn’t relate with her struggles and now, the payoffs and consequences in TLJ were much less impactful than what they could’ve and should’ve been. Plus I’m still not entirely sold on how quickly she picked up her abilities.
