[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed the movie but it was far from perfect.  Carrie Fisher's passing gave the movie a little more gravity than what it would have had otherwise.

[b]It was kind of a weird ending with no real clues to what will happen in the next installment or even what we might have to look forward to.  [/b]I like the theme that the existence of the Resistence gives people/children hope.  But the rebels have been nearly destroyed that it seems like some large group will need to come out of nowhere to help rebuild.

I did think it was cool how the scene with Ray, Ben/Kylo Ren, Snoke so clearly paralleled the scene with Luke, Vader, and the Emppero

"We're going to win this war not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love."

Rey won't be able to destroy Kylo Ren for the part of him she hates, she'll try to save him for the part of him she loves.[/quote]

I like this theory and think it makes sense.[/quote]

Why does she love any part of him? What is this background that makes her love him? Is it, "Oh, a bad boy, let me be a stupid girl and love a bad boy?"[/quote]

It's that she recognizes he is more than just a "bad boy." Remember she felt her own temptation by the dark side, so she can understand his temptation. And she sympathizes with the fact that, from his perspective, he was trying to do right thing and his uncle/mentor tried to kill him anyway. Their force-enabled conversations made her realize that he's not just some one-dimensional bad guy, he has more depth and conflict than that. It's not like she fully embraced him, she was willing to walk away when he wanted her to go in a direction she couldn't get on board with. But I think she believes the conflict in him means there's potential for redemption, and her empathy with how he ended up there means she will want to give it her best shot.[/quote]
