[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8986862, member: 6988941"] I also think that they are in a similar situation with Rey as they were with Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi where we end on a note of "and now you are truly a Jedi". While we may recognize that the "hero learns to hero" part of a character's story can be much more interesting than the "hero is an accomplished hero" part, the first part still naturally leaves an audience wanting to experience that second part as well. It's easy to forget after decades have gone by, and numerous now "legend" novels and such of varying but mostly unimpressive quality covering the post original trilogy era, and with all sorts of Star Wars media going in all sorts of other directions, that I spent my childhood wanting to see the awesome adventures of Luke Skywalker, certified Jedi Knight, turned into a movie. If you saw the sequel trilogy without knowing the history of the franchise, I think you would leave the last movie expecting further adventures for Rey. Was [I]Rise of Skywalker[/I] a huge mess that utterly failed the (fairly difficult but I doubt impossible) task of bringing together the two better but mismatched movies that preceded it into a coherent trilogy? Sure. But neither that failure, nor the fact that the original trilogy was not followed up on in a timely matter is a good reason to deny the kids who grew up with Rey the ongoing adventures that the kids who grew up with Luke were denied. She has risen. Now what? [/QUOTE]
