    Wanna know why the Rey parentage story isn't going away despite the emphatic answers? 1. Because JJ doesn't know how to set up actually story turn. He literally said his plan was also for her parents to be "nobodies." This was always the plan. But the problem is...

        He layers in "the air of mysteriousness" into just about any plot detail to make you question it because he's all about stoking your questions. This has been the M.O. his entire career.

        In his mystery box presentation he literally says the answer doesn't really matter. It's just about drawing people in. The problem is that in storytelling the answer is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. It is literally the point of what you are saying and communicating and how.

        It's the heart of dramatization. And again, I think JJ's great at so much with direction, I like him, I really do, particularly imbuing things with energy and texture but this constant, fundamental misunderstanding is at the heart of the lack of dramatic punch behind every...

        big moment that's had to deliver in his entire oeuvre. He constantly works his stories into bad corners where the intended answers can't work for what he couldn't help but play up with mystery.

        Sometimes, you just have to come at things head on and set up the answer you're going to dramatize in spades. Because often it is the best way to make a great moment of character catharsis truly sing.

        2. And this is the more important one, we've been conditioned by destiny-fueled hero storytelling to think that genetic connection to superiority is just "how power and heroism works" and that's the grossed gross that's ever grossed.

        And yet no one ever thinks of the ugly association, or worse, they absolutely do. END RANT.

        I feel like there a lot of criticism of TLJ that stem from stuff being set up as a mystery in TFA which really shouldn't have been e.g. 'Who is Snoke?'

        I love hoe TLJ just moved from that. In a similar way as Kylo Ren's sub-Vader outfit/voice. One snarky 'you are just a kid in a mask', then boom it's gone and a more whole character emerges from behind it too. I do hope @rianjohnson knows how much so many of us adore the film

        I would have found it more interesting if Kylo said he didn't know; maybe no one knows. The silhouettes were wierdly obscured, so I thought it was being hidden on purpose. Lies and deception are the ways of the Dark Side.

        Rey is the one who reveals her parentage.
