I always expect some really radical feminist agenda -- WHICH WOULD BE FINE WITH ME -- and it's just common sense and fairness, sometimes a bit constricted
Oh dude, seriously. And absolutely fair point with the big dramatic mano-a-mano at the end being between two guys. And Rey had to share the big fight scene in the Shiny Red Room of Evil Power, too. -- All the people screaming about how they expected Luke to go back and have a big saber battle and be heroic -- that's, like, pretty much WHAT HE DOES, with the Force projection whatever twist. (At the same time I loved the little subversion that Luke isn't there to kill or save Kylo, he doesn't really win or lose -- it's all a distraction so Rey and the others can get away. "Lost Ben Solo you did. Lose Rey we must not.") I mean I loved it, but his death is a great big dramatic thing with the sunset(s) and music and cloak blowing off! Compare that to the deaths of Obi-Wan and Yoda, or even Anakin in ROTJ. It's bizarre to me how someone can read that as a defeated non-heroic diminishing castrating character arc end.
The torch is handed to Rey
LITERALLY, SHE has the sabre, mwahahaha (and given how good she was at salvaging on Jakku I have no doubt she can fix it. Maybe Rose can do it too!). And she was the one who summoned it in TFA! MY GIRL. (LOL I could just write passages of hearts and flowers bout Rey all day long)
