also um rose basically exists almost exclusively to challenge finn
Rose also exposes the farce not just of the military industrial complex fueling the cycles of warfare in the galaxy, but her words and choices are everything the Jedi of the prequels lack
she's as much a summation of the Lucas coda as any character in Star Wars, save only Yoda in Empire
Since you guys are sorta talking about it; how you feel about the Poe /Rey dynamic they sneaked in at the end?
Personally I hope they will just be momma and pappa to BB8.
not to burst your bubble Red but I don't think there is a sneaked-in Poe/Rey dynamic
I think it's more that Rey's sad mantra is that she's a "nobody from nowhere" and doesn't have a "family" and seeks a belonging she can't find, and yet upon returning to The Resistance Poe doesn't need to be introduced----Rey is no longer "nothing" or "nobody" from "nowhere."
it's sort've a completion of the throughout of her character's arc up to that point, not so much setting up a potential relationship
rewind to 12 months ago when I pointed out Boyega and Ridley clearly didn't love TLJ's script and you and m4--not to trigger either of you--basically accused me of being a hater
(when the whole time I had TLJ on my top ten of 2017)
