TFA Our heroes have just escaped a rescue attempt on the main female character
Rey pretty much rescued her fucking self. Even as a male I’m kind of offended by this. Not only that Rey was captured towards the middle/end of the film while Leia was captured in the beginning of ANH. Not only that when Leia was captured she shot a storm trooper took 3 steps and was stunned. Rey ran and attempted to shoot Kylo Ren before being but into Stasis, a conversation ensued and she was KO’d by The Force.
and are in the process of making their last moves in order to escape the planet smashing villain fortress when the older mentor is intercepted by the masked lead villain who has a past with him.
As noted it was the other way around. Also the actual Father/Son dynamic is different from the Master/Apprentice angle in the ANH.
Our other heroes are divided from their confrontation by a pit and the older mentor is killed.
Ok
The heroes react violently to his noble sacrifice and make their escape.
He didn’t sacrifice himself. He tried to turn his son away from becoming a monster. The exact reason/s Obi-Wan let himself be killed is up for debate.
