Hilarious.You are entitled to your opinion on the film, no question, but when it comes to screenwriting knowledge, you don’t seem to have any, so maybe it would be best if you listened more and talked less when these topics come up.
For the record, while I strongly disagree with the idea that that Rey is not the main character, I was not responding to that. I was responding to your characterization of that idea as “absolutely and unequivocally true”. Perhaps someone who liked the movie and has the same Advanced Screenwriting 101 course credit you have can chime in and agree with you, otherwise I still find your absolute certainty hilarious.
But anyway, the point was Rey’s character was a risk for the studio to take.
