| NightlyPoe said: Luke bested Rey in their fight without even drawing on the Force. The end of that scene where Luke was knocked back only proved that a lightsaber is a better weapon than a stick. So that's an example of internet silliness. And, Rey did exactly the same thing Luke did in RotJ. He ignored Yoda and Ben's advise and trusted he could turn Vader. Luke was right. Rey was wrong. Ben was not ready to be turned. She FAILED. Again, this is an example of internet weirdness. Rey was actually fairly ineffective in TLJ, particularly in comparison to TFA where the critique is a lot more valid. If you've got issues with her character being overpowered, talk to Abrams. Yes, Johnson got it. Much more than the internet bandwagoners I'm afraid, where they've apparently decided that "subverting expectations" and repeating it at every opportunity makes it a dirty word instead of a fairly common storytelling technique. |
This is the last answer I will give to you here because it is offtopic. If you want to continue the conversation wall me.
Yoda said let her go because she had everything she needs and it was ok for her to go with no training. But I guess that she indeed had everything she needed when she has to face such lousy, mediocre, and poorly written villains in the new trilogy.
"Yes, yes, yes. Wisdom they (Jedi texts) held but that library contained nothing that the girl Rey does not already possess." Bimbo Yoda from TLJ and so the death of the Star Wars pillar of the Padawan-Jedi Master relationship was brought to you courtesy of Rain Johnson.
Rey was shown to be powerful since TFA and Rain Johnson absolutely failed to explain and justify why.
Rian Johnson apologetics strike again.
