Everything in the movie is trying to be subversive and question the premise of Star Wars. So the Jedi aren’t good or necessary, Luke hates the Jedi and wants them to end.

The movie ends with Luke saying the Jedi will continue and the Jedi returning directly inspires the galaxy to rebel against the first order in specific and oppression in general. I think the movie is absolutely fine but I Cannot believe that we’re seven years out from the release of it and people can’t grasp the very Obvious and Inoffensive themes that characters constantly directly state and restate throughout the last 45 minutes. I mean the second to last scene of the movie is Rey asking how they’ll build a rebellion with so few people and Leia touches Anakin’s lightsaber and says that they have everything they need. The Symbol of hope (specifically in the Jedi) is strong enough to save the day.

The movie at most makes you Think about the implications of Star Wars’s most basic themes (war is bad!!) but at the end states that “getting hope and learning from the past is good and fine actually.” The closest it actually gets to criticizing star wars itself is the note about bloodlines not being the most important thing in the universe.

uhh anyways i dont remember any bad lines from the movie because i haven’t seen it in years. I’ll rewatch it soon and get back to everyone on that. Probably not.
