RFR Q&A #26: Star Wars - Mystery vs Purpose
/RFR Patreon VIP Frank Emmanule joins Jimmy Mac for a wide-ranging STAR WARS conversation kicking off with comparisons between the first trailer for THE FORCE AWAKENS to the latest trailer for THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. This leads to us noticing the similarities between Rey at the beginning of Episode VII and Luke at the beginning of Episode IV. Did Luke’s desperation to leave Tatooine fuel a desire to join the Empire? We know Rey wanted to be reunited with her parents, but what were her ambitions as an individual? This topic becomes a springboard for analysis into Rey’s character and the mystery surrounding it. The bigger question is the purpose of her as a player in the overall saga. Is the value of the character found in her affect on the actual story itself, or is it just the simple mystery surrounding her? Mystery vs Purpose...Which is a more effective STAR WARS storytelling technique? Frank and Jimmy try to provide some answers and look at some other mysteries presented in THE SKYWALKER SAGA.
