Star Wars is modern myth but where oral tradition allows for reinvention of the base material with each iteration the film medium means old forms remain and new stories must me constructed on the mythic plot. That's what I think is happening with the awakening.I do agree that the new death star wasn't needed for the story to work well but I am impressed that they had the gonads to kill Han (underlining that this is a handover) and although Phasma was a bit naff I do hope she earns a better story arc next episode (one fan theory posits that she's actually a good guy planted deep cover in the First Order - I like that notion and look forward to the Snape reveal).One other random thought - what if Reys father is Palpatine!!!</blockquote>
