Honestly I think the editor is bullshitting around the answer. The way she answered it just seemed rather weird. Sure, that could’ve been intended to be the last shot when they filmed it, but was who was in the shot always the same?
I don’t think John Boyega and Mark Hamill have ever realized how their negative comments can be lightning rods for online bullying. They can say tons of complimentary things and people will ignore them, but as soon as they say anything negative it becomes fuel for online attacks.
The map to Luke is discovered on Jakku by an old friend of Luke’s, and the first person BB-8 carrying the map runs into is the granddaughter of Palpatine, who is in speeder distance of the Millennium Falcon and happens to use this to escape the planet and they happen to be picked up within five minutes by Han Solo and brought to a place that has Luke’s old lightsaber in the basement. All of these things, save the connection between Han and the Falcon, are complete coincidences.
Another reason why Rey Nobody would’ve made a lot more sense!
I would agree to that, but this means that either she had training before in the force, or JJ simply wouldn’t have her beat Kylo Ren in TFA. You cant be both a nobody, have no previous training and be great at everything.
I defended Rey as a character when she was proficient im every that she did, with the underlying assumption that there is a reason for her to know all of this. The force isn’t a magical gift giving plot device, in past movies it was required time, effort and lots of tears before someone was good with the force.
