I got the commentary and the vindication. I guess my point is I didn’t find the subject about the fandom itself anything but intrusive. That’s why the kill the past speech stands out like a sore thumb for me. There was a lot of palpable emotion and drama in that scene: I think building on a foundation more relevant to the characters themselves would have been way better than building on online chatter about the moviesAnd I agree about Rey; she is great. The actress who played her had the perfect presence, performance and was believable doing all the physical stuff too because she seemed athletic. I liked a lot of the characters. One of my criticisms of the third film is it relegated rose to a side role and clips the romance that she seemed to have with Finn by the end of the movie. I just didn’t need the movie to be a meta discussion of Star Wars itself: I wasn’t looking for validation or criticism as a fan; I was looking for an enthralling Star Wars movie. I got a good movie but the heavy use of subtext is one of the weaknesses. Where they start with the Luke character to achieve that another weakness for me. Just my opinion of course. If you like the way it handled the subtext there isn’t anything wrong with that. For me it felt like it became too much of a priority and impacted dialogue and parts of the story</blockquote>
