I’m guessing you’ve watched that viral video on “How TFA is worse than the Prequels”, which, whilst again having a few good points, irritates me greatly.I haven’t watched this youtube video (if you understand french here is nevertheless a well made video to be watched, which is different than a video showing some bloke sharing his life and thoughts : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpx1yM7liLA).
What do they want?
Rey wants to leave Jakku and wants to be reunited with her family. Finn wants to leave The First Order and wants to fall in with a group of decent people and Kylo Ren wants to fully commit to the Dark Side and just like Leia, Han and Snoke wants to find Skywalker. Also Leia and Han want to bring their kid back from the abyss.
Why is this even a question?
What are their conflicts?
Rey desperately wants to be reunited with her family and at this point in borders on denial and when she touches Luke’s lighsaber and has her vision she wants no part in it largely because she was terrified of Kylo Ren. Finn is dealing with maintaining the lie he has made about him being in The Resistance and is trying to transcend his cowardice so that he can properly protect his newly found friends. Do I even have to go into what Kylo Ren’s conflicts are?
What have they learnt and what have they lost?
Rey learned she has a power beyond her understanding and that she must get training to focus her power and she has lost a father figure. Finn has learned that even though he felt he had nothing to fight for initially, his companions are all that he needs to press on and he lost his…uh spine. Leia learned that her son is beyond redemption.
Rey, on the other hand, never makes a single strong decision:
I think Rey going off to get training from Luke is a pretty strong decision. I mean that will effect the entire outcome of the trilogy…
what family ? who are they ?
We’re not supposed to know yet…
why doesn’t she try to search them since she so good at blah blah blah
Maybe because out of millions of habitable worlds it would be advantageous to stay on the one planet you know with absolute certainty your parents know you’re on.
understanding the network door system in seconds of a ship when has never seen before ?,
She also let out the Rathtars and almost killed everyone but I guess you think she planned that out right?
Sorry Frink.
