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? |
4. Do you know where exactly on the planet he is? It was a star map but that doesn't exactly narrow it down. Sending someone that had obvious links to Luke and the Force was perfectly acceptable in my eyes.
3. A lot of the blanks felt like they were build up for the next film or a in some cases were actually answered in the film is what I'm getting at. This is billed as the first film in a trilogy so it's only expected that some blanks wil exist. Just as many questions were left unanswered at the end of Episode IV and there were no concrete plans for a sequel at that stage.
2. At a conscious level she would have forgotten it imo, but the movie makes it clear she's a natural in the same way Luke was able to use it to destroy the death star in Ep4 and 9 year old Anakin was able to win the pod race. Even a little bit of training would be enough to kickstart her abilities at a sub-conscious level. I think part of it was also to show just how immature and lacking in higher training Kylo Ren actually is. He worships Darth Vader but he's clearly not even close in ability. Even his lightsaber beam suggests a poorly constructed lightsaber suggesting either poor discipline, poor training or both.
