      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 think the subversion of exactly this is one of the reasons why I also loved Blade Runner 2049.

          Couldn’t it be that Rey meets her parent(s) simply to provide her closure and to *prove* the point that she is unimportant — or at least not important by any birthright?

          The coolest part about the last jedi was it cemented what force awakens was kinda hinting at. The force isnt some dynastic power saved for those worthy few. Anyone can be called on to step up and save the galaxy. Your parents dont matter, your actions do.

          But I guess ppl also like it when things are connected. I could never get into Digimon 3 or 4 because they weren't connected to Digimon 1 and 2.

          The "need" for Rey' s kinship is the weirdest complaint that I've seen repeated. The entire Jedi Council was made up of "non Skywalkers". Jedi aren't supposed to procreate. Anikan's "special royal blood" is an anomaly. I love Rey having to choose who she is. #forcewillbedone

          You familiar with the Chronicles of Prydain? Heritage and prophecy are a big thread, but the end it's said the prophecy was properly "some nobody could do this", and "the deeds of a man, not the words of a prophecy, are what shape his destiny".
