RE: Why I Dislike Rey from "The Force Awakens"
Yeah, my beef isn't with the character completely. I just hate the way she is presented and developed. I think they should have given us more answers at least in EP 7. Or given us better clues.
The thing is that writing a good mystery is really hard. It's far from easy. But I feel the structure of 7 was created as a hype machine as opposed to a solid story.
Yeah, they are playing it for the "come and watch the next movie" as though they even had to do that.
Seriously. As I pointed out, the Original star wars, which was unknown and "doomed to fail" according to critics, did nothing to rely on "come and see a sequel" and it took the world by storm.
I think it's fine to have mystery and a few unanswered questions, but they just didn't answer enough in the film to where I felt like it was a gimmick and I was being cheated to come see the sequel.
