Hey TLJ was good. RoS…yeah I definitely try to forget that exists. Palpatine flying around on the weird tentacle arm thing made me audibly groan and roll my eyes so hard they nearly fell out.
I still hold out that Rey and Ben should have switched sides in that movie (at least temporarily), because it really would have let us explore some cool ideas that hadn’t been done before.
But I do agree that the “letting go of the past” thing was a really great theme to have as the core of the movie, because it shows that Luke was falling right into the same mindset that the Jedi order had and was their downfall. But this time, he didn’t let the “old ways” become his downfall.
I don’t think they should have switched sides but make their own thing all together, grey jedi style. Maybe not even as allies but at least something new. Kylo was clearly never as into the whole “dark side” stuff the same way Vader was and Rey had barely any association to the jedi, except for being force sensitive.
Would this have been better? Maybe, but at least it would have been DIFFERENT from just rehashing the OT. I’d rather see something I like try and fail that to not try at all.
That definitely would have been interesting and there were a lot of scenes in TLJ that hinted Rey was exploring some dark thoughts. Too risky for the mouse I guess.
