Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 1535701, member: 168"] Finn did fight another storm trooper. Also, Chewy shot Kylo Ren and hit him directly. The movie takes great pains to shot what happens when that happens (people go flying). Ren stands there an takes it, and still battles them. Also, I didn't think Finn did very much. It was more like Luke/Vader in [I]Empire[/I]. Ren played around with him, and then whooped him after he got hit in the arm (like Vader). Obviously the movie suggests that this may not really be the first time Rey used this weapon, even if she forgot it. Perhaps that last part will be proven wrong, and in which case I'd agree with your assessment a bit (still remember that Ren was injured). Yup. That was brutal. Definitely not her first time. If it was, then yeah, your point is right. I think she's been trained. Funny, I thought she was great. This is strange to me. I don't see how it is "politically correct" to have the main character be a woman. Hell, in early drafts Luke was a woman. And I don't see what's politically correct about a black guy being a secondary lead here. Like, is the default white male? Does it have to be? Why would it be a statement for it not to be? Regardless, like you points. Agree with a bunch. [/QUOTE]
