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...

Opening scene is the best thing he's ever done and it just so happens to be the most straight-forward, ham-fisted drama. The actual story is a mess, but he's really good at executing on all the relationships / characteristics. Probably my fave thing he's done outside lost pilot

I remember Greg Farshtey of Bionicle called this the “sizzle and steak theory”. The smell of the sizzle draws people in, but sooner or later, if you want them to stick around, you’re gonna have to provide steak.

don't always agree with you (I follow you these days to see different viewpoints that I use to have my own internal debate) but this is a succinct and valid take on this story

I don't agree with this take on TFA even if it's true of a lot of Abrams' work. The 'air of mysteriousness' around not just Rey, but all the characters, personifies the way these characters are trying to answer, for themselves and not just to the audience, who they really are.

Finn spends 100% of TFA trying on different roles and none quite fit. He doesn't know who he is yet. He's even given a name. Kylo Ren doesn't know who he is, just a hollow shell of Darth Vader seeking validation from his mentor. Rey tries to define herself in the wrong places.

We need JJ to direct a murder mystery so that he can unlearn this gimmick of his (also, crime novels are the best at teaching you about narrative structure and character arcs)

*after reading some responses about JJ's TV shows* Have you watched FRINGE? If yes, what did you think?

I remember the first time I was burned by him after wondering what all the Rambaldi nonsense was leading up to on Alias because I thought it would be something great because the setup was so intriguing. Still love the guy, Alias, and TFA but I learned my lesson.

Where is "Hulk want to smash that story line!" Power is inherited! Like royalty! That is unAmerican, anti-democratic, elitist BS, and it shows up all the time. And Biblical. We save ourselves. But it helps when parents are solid. Not nobodies.
