But conversely…
- Luke learns the error of his ways and becomes a true hero
- It’s not whether you buy from a black market but what you choose to do
- Poe learns the error of his ways and becomes a true leader
- Rey is tempted by the darkside and rejects it and becomes a true hero
- Finn tries an act of stupidity and a hero saves him
- Holdo is a gruff unlikeable character trope, the kind who has their heart in the right place all along
Personally the stakes are irrelevant, small or big, the overall movie is what matters. Which is … a mixed bag.
Yeah, it’s all a matter of perspective how you interpret the messages of TLJ. I feel like that’s the reason why people have such opposing views on this movie. It’s like the cave on Dagobah, it only shows what you take with you.
