[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7535594, member: 37579"] I agree. [I]The Force Awakens[/I] really dropped the ball with that. We have no idea of the scale or scope. It's terrible, terrible worldbuilding. Well, Poe is only a lead in the second movie, and has a tonne of character development where's humbled repeatedly and forced to be a leader. Finn goes from being a mindless killing machine to a coward who wants to just run away to someone willing to sacrifice themselves. And Rey learns independence, and is able to be herself and live her own life without waiting from someone from her past to save her or give her meaning, while also being willing to walk away from Luke and not rely on him and his teachings to define her. Quick: what's the character development for Leia and Han in Episodes V and VI? It's not like Ren got hit in the jetback by a blind guy, flew into the side of a sail barge, and was eaten by a giant sand sphincter. That kind of defines "chump". This is the thing: the problems you have in the new movies almost always exist in the original trilogy. The difference is you're willing to just completely overlook or forgive those problems because you loved the movie before you noticed the problems So... you want the First Order to kill Rey's parents as a motive exactly like the Empire killed Luke's adoptive parents... to make her less of a rehash?
