Rey was following what luke wanted for her, she wanted to be part of Luke's family. Kylo was called back from the dark side by his mother, and he never forgave Luke trying to kill him. The only reason I see for them getting their repsective lightsaber is because one was a ""boy"" lightsaber and the other was a ""girl"" lightsaber. (I realize this is 7 months late, but w/e)

[@blokey8]

Also the amusing notion that Kylo takes up this saber like it's Excalibur, having thrown away his own one. The most notable deeds done pre-ST with that weapon are the crippling of Mace Windu, the summary execution of Count Dooku and the dismemberment of a a room full of children.

[@davidv4018]

I guess, it all comes down to the notion that Leia is a Skywalker. I think what JJ tried to do: Make a story in which Leia Organa accepts herself as a Skywalker. Like, accept Luke as his brother and accepts Vader as someone who was redeemed. Abrams seemed to be obsessed in closing abandoned storylines from the Original Trilogy, and this probably is one of them. I speculate that there were lots of scenes about Leia coming to terms with her legacy that were left behind. So, Rey does it for her. TRoS is about Leia (and the Jedi) using Rey as a puppet, so this idea wouldn't be so crazy.

Like Jenny said, it's just a list of things.

[@sebastianbelcher5354]

Blame the Fandom Menace. Rian Johnson expanded on those ideas. Rey had dark side tendencies and longed for a family, only to find out her parents weren't anyone special. Ren turns more to the dark side and longs to be supreme leader which he ultimately does in TLJ. Finn, while a former storm trooper, still didn't see what the resistance was fighting for until he sees enslaved people often overlooked during the war, and the greedy wealthy who sweep things under the rug.

I honestly cannot believe the last line wasn't: "Just Rey." But said contentedly with a smile, in contrast to the last time she said it where it was said with insecurity and a bit of sadness, to symbolize that it doesn't matter anymore who her biological family was (and they sucked harder than could be imagined) because she has a new family with her friends in the resistance and family names don't apply so she can be "just Rey" and it's fine. Like when she paused before answering I was actually feeling a little bit of emotion in anticipation of the line that I was sure had to be coming. Instead what had become the familiar feeling of empty confusion returned, only this time there wasn't a new scene to make me forget the dumb thing that had just happened.

The biggest missed opportunity with Rey Palpatine is they should have made Palpatine act loving and grandfatherly to her. He should have seduced her like Anakin but even more effective because of her desire for family. There should have been a scene of Rey reluctantly fighting Kylo while she claims through tears that no, Palpatine is good she can see it when he's actually just manipulating her. The best villains are ones that exploit the deepest weakness of the protagonist. Palpatine could have done this to Rey better than anyone else. It could have been perfect. He could have offered her family. But, no they made him space Hitler zombie Satan and they fought with swords. Huge missed opportunity.

If he employed the same tactics he used with Anakin, I think he could absolutely have a family, and he could absolutely manipulate Rey too. And then Rey would have like an actual moral dilemma instead of "do I get the power to save my friends but lose control of my body, thus rendering this power useless and this decision incredibly obvious"

‘Space Hitler Zombie Satan’ accurate

[@rosenblj2004]

Perhaps others have said this already (I realize I'm watching this video over four years later), but I remember feeling so disappointed by the decision to have Kylo and Rey kiss. I was really into the story of their connection over the course of the movies, but the feeling that I thought came through most strongly from Kylo was loneliness. I wish they had just embraced after he revived her - a physical gesture of care for each other that isn't necessarily romantic, and demonstrates that he's not alone. It would have felt so much more meaningful to me. Having them kiss just felt so lazy, like someone playing with dolls, and it took me out of it just before he died so it undercut the emotional impact of losing him.

[@blondetapperware8289]

I get what you're saying, but if you have a young attractive women who struggles with loneliness, and a young man who struggles with it, and they bond over that, that's kinda gonna happen... I don't think we have to be allergic to that idea. Not to mention there was some (even if it was the absolute bare minimum) romantic development with them in TFA and TLJ.

Just a little hindsight 4 years later: Rian Johnson has gone on to write and direct two Knives Out mystery movies that simultaneously brought back and subverted the murder mystery genre, with at least two more coming. He has been nominated for multiple awards for both films. JJ Abrams has not written or directed anything for television or film since The Rise of Skywalker. His executive producer credits are not for anything of note. He has not been nominated for an award since 2016 for The Force Awakens.

[@chan_martin]

Well I think people are also starting to realize that JJ did the bare minimum with the Star Trek reboot as well and maybe he shouldn’t be as revered as he is.

[@thelexicon7294]

It truly made me reexamine and more importantly fact check what little I thought I knew about JJ, and yup. He also he didn’t have nearly as much to do with the early promising parts of Lost as I thought. And when he has made things that had potential, it was always in tandem with someone else. Not saying it’s impossible that he’s good or that he sometimes jumpstarts good things, but in hindsight it’s just… significantly less common than I remembered.

[@frankkennedy6388]

This doesn't change the fact The Last Jedi was crap.

[@chan_martin]

@@frankkennedy6388 True but somehow lots of people did enjoy it, which led to it being divisive. JJ was guilty in Force Awakens of being derivative and Rise of Skywalker was near universally disliked. I don’t like Last Jedi but Rian Johnson at least tried something, even if that something was half baked, hollow attempts to subvert expectations.

@Gwendolyn depending on ur politics they do that all the time, moreso imo by refusing to tell complex narratives properly and trying to grey villains who do not have a grey morality- it drags the heroes down.

[@goatmeal5241]

My favorite moment in RoS is subtle and I haven't heard anyone else mention it: when Kylo calls the First Order meeting about the spy in their midst, he gets side-tracked by sensing Hux's dislike for his new helmet. It's brilliant that, from Hux's point of view, he knows Kylo can read his thoughts, and is vain, and so he blasts the thought "KYLO'S NEW HELMET LOOKS DUMB" to get Kylo off the subject of the spy while letting Kylo like he's won something over Hux and is therefore still in control. Great manipulation, it's a pity the rest of Hux's decision-making and characterization isn't to that level.

[@Prof_Tickles92]

It wasn’t for nothing. The point was to push Rey further and further into despair. She’s always been full of self loathing and down on herself because she honestly believes she’s an inherently evil irredeemable monster. Ever wonder why she encountered a dark doppelgänger? Because that’s how she’s ALWAYS perceived herself. Giving into her anger which fed the force lightning and almost killed her friend made Rey realize what she’s capable of, which fueled her poor self image, caused her to distance herself from her friends, until she finally hits rock bottom.

[@lovefrom_darkghost]

@@Prof_Tickles92 i agree that that was the goal, but my point is that the reveal itself cheapens the moment by happening before the characters can have reactions to the "death", it's just an editing/pacing issue that i find funny.
