It’s even dumber because this would have been very easy to fix. All they had to do was cutout the last 20 seconds of the fight when Rey beats his ass. As soon as Rey channels the force and fights off Kylo for just and instant, to momentarily save herself, the planet could have collapsed and separated the two of them, saving Rey and her companions in the process.Why? So people can bitch more about conveniences in TFA? I’ll pass on that.
This is exactly what I was talking about with my post about Lucas never having a chance. With some people here, JJ never had a chance. The separation of the two by the planet was already (incorrectly*) bitched about as lazy writing by one of our other fun-time reviewers.
“incorrectly” because it was claimed the separation created an artificial means for Rey to keep Ren alive, when in fact she had a chance to finish him, considered it, didn’t do it, and THEN the planet separated them*
**I love the idea of the planet as a character
JEDIT THING 1 AND JEDIT THING 2: I meant to edit the above, not quote it…and the asterisk formatting of the forum strikes back…er…strikes again.
