Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 1536204, member: 56"] Yah, that's why I specified against a Jedi. The previous encounter hardly coached him up to a professional level. Fair enough point. And that's definitely a factor. But I still feel like Ren should be able to slice Fin in half with only one arm and no legs. But maybe not. I saw the little flashback, but wasn't sure what to make of it. I guess I just made the assumption that Rey was just as clueless as Luke on Tatooine. If that's not the case, then yeah, that clears a bunch of this stuff up for me. Wasn't really sure what to make of that Ben Kenobi-like figure at the beginning either, who could very well be a part of it. Yeah, I don't know. She's def right for the role. And I think she's got the chops for it, just something wasn't there for me. Perhaps the directing might have let her down a bit there (for me). Eh, this is more of a pet peeve of mine than anything else. I'm about as anti-PC as you come; don't like people telling me what to think and do. PC culture just sucks all the humor and fun out life imo. And I'm not a conservative person socially either (not talking political designations here so don't start). So caring about type casting has nothing to do with black/white/green/purple people in the abstract. I don't care who you are as long as you're good. It's just that Hollywood is really pushes home the 'inclusive' thing. It's cloying frankly. For example, Hollywood is pervasive with these ass kicking lead role chicks. Now if she's a superhero, vampire, jedi, or whatever, I can get behind that. Suspending disbelief is easy there. But the number of times I see some sprightly little chick kick the crap out of big badass trained killers is nauseating. I guess it's kind of like WCBB fans saying that Maya Moore could play on a men's team or something. It's like, no. No she couldn't. /rant Anyway, not really the clearest explanation of what I was going for, but c'est la vie. Not much to see there I guess. [/QUOTE]
