I think it would be obvious that she's connected to Luke and the Jedi in some way. It's not as if Leia can go considering she's a General. That only really leaves Chewie, but he doesn't have any link to the Force to help him in the search. 3. This is probably the most ridiculous complaint about the film I've read. It's like people need to have everything immediately fed to them on a platter instead of thinking things through. There are another two films to come in the trilogy whilst some of the questions you asked can be answered by paying attention to the film and others are there for you to develop theories for the next film(s). 2. I got the feeling Ren was far more immature in training than he initially appeared and I wouldn't be surprised to find Rey has had training as a young child (fan theory!). I don't think Snoke really trained him particularly other than to use his anger. In all the interactions with Snoke I got the impression Ren was powerful but ultimately very immature in his training. 1. OK, I actually get this one. I also kinda understand why they decided to do it in this way. It's not so much a complete remake as a huge nostalgia trip that also serves to pass the torch for the next two films. May have borrowed a bit too much though. |
5. For the most part it was good. Just those 2 I mentioned stood out as just ok (Kanata) and poor (Snoke.)
4. They had an exact map to him (for some God unknown reason), so no one who had a link to the Force was necessary. And I think Leia would have gone no matter what position she is. I mean she was a Princess in the OG trilogy. Did that stop her from joining the Rebellion? Or anything that happened in those movies? Nope. And this is her brother. One she hasn't seen in years.
3. When you have to argue in hyperbole, then you have already lost. No one wants it spoon fed to them. They just want something. This movie didn't hint at things for us to fill in, it merely left things blank. And fan theories are fine if they are trying to fill in grey areas that are hinted at. However, they are not fine when they are covering up for poor and/or absentee writing, filling in black spaces the sequels most likely won't address. That's what fanboys have been doing for the prequels for years, trying to act as if they are not poorly written.
2. Even if she had training as a child, that would have only been for about 3-4 years, if she started around 4 or 5. She has forgotten it completely by the time the movie started, so about 15 years of not using it. So, there is no way she should have mastered it so quickly even when she was training. Unless they want to do another LOK thing where she masters everthing at a very young age, which is BS. Not even Anakin, who the prequels made Jedi Jesus mastered the Force at such a young age. So, girl power it is?
