Been a while, only saw it in theaters. What themes did 8 have? There was one scene that had absolutely zero effect where Benicio del Toro says “weapons dealers sell to both side.” Rose’s line about saving what we love instead of fighting?
I thought the stuff with Luke and Rey was interesting, about how you have to let go of the past and all that. I don’t think the themes of 8 are amazingly complex or impressively told, but they still make it better than 7 and especially 9.
See that theme could have been effecive, if it wasn’t undermined by the end of the movie. Rey and Luke went back to being Jedi (Rey even keeps the sacred texts) and Kylo Ren became a sith lord. “Let go of the past” but still end up recreating the exact scenario that the movie began in, except worse off.
