Look, I’m not trying to choose violence today, so let’s not stoop to the level of stereotypical “Star Wars” discourse.

That said, the parallels here were not lost on me, and I generally agree with RTD.

    *I liked the reveal of Ruby’s mother being a normal woman. *

    Yeah! There’s a lot of ideas in Last Jedi that I really enjoyed and looked forward to being explored, and Rey’s parents being “nobody”, suggesting that you didn’t have to be in a special “Jedi/Sith destiny” club to be important was one of my favorite ones. It was optimistic. Hopeful. Anyone can be the hero. That’s powerful stuff.

    Absolutely foolish that they dumped that whole idea in the next film. (Then again there’s so much wrong with Ep9 that it might as well be decanonzed.)
