It gave Rey her first step into a larger world. Sure her connection to the force could have been “ignited” by some other catalyst but it wasn’t.
Why the f did it have to be Anakin’s lightsabre specifically to do that? Some other random lightsabre would be just as good to serve the story.
Because that lightsaber has history…and if Rey is a Solo/Skywalker it’s hers by birthright
Oh dear! This is the last thing we need. If they do something as stupid as this, ST will be much worse than PT.
lack of originality
What the fuck does that even mean in this instance?
It mean exactly “lack of originality”. Why couldn’t they come up with some lightsabre from some owner not yet introduced? You know making something new? Something new? New?
Something new wasn’t warranted. Plot wise Anakin’s lightsaber makes a lot more sense than for her Force Abilities to be awakened by some Anonymous Jedi/Sith’s saber.
Don’t be ridiculous…
