[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7303400, member: 16814"] We must have seen different movies -- the character development was pretty much front and center for all the characters. Finn went from a selfish coward that only cared about Rey to someone filled with rage against the 1st Order to someone willing to sacrifice themselves unhesitatingly to help Luke at the end. He learned that doing it for love was better than doing it for hate. Poe went from hothead pilot that only cared about blowing up the Order regardless of the casualties to a real leader that recognized keeping his people alive was part of the goal, not just blowing up the Order -- that retreat was a better tactic than Pyrrhic victories. Rey went from someone uncertain of her place in the galaxy, someone who couldn't let her past go, to someone that embraced her own past, her own failures, her own faults, and decided to strive to be better because of it. Kylo had the opposite journey -- from someone who knew his past and was conflicted by it to someone that decided to to burn it all down and abandon it all. He couldn't face his failures and faults, so he burned them away. Luke learned from his failures and re-entered the galaxy, addressed his failures, and then did something about it. Change was the biggest part of this movie -- lots and lots of character development that was hammered on over and over. They even brought Yoda in to put a big stamp of 'pay attention' to the central themes of that development. [/QUOTE]
