>>3370193The thing that bothers me the most about this movie is it's basically propaganda. The whole story revolves around how there is no real light or dark, and that the world operates in shades of gray. We see this with Luke training Ray when she doesn't run away from her inner darkness. I mean she almost tries to kill him. The mind meld between Ray and Kyle is supposed to symbolize this yong yang concept as well. But the story makes no attempt to give the First Order any gray. At all. They're just evil mustache twirling villains who do bad things because. How can you take the concept of grey morality seriously when one side is made up of literal Nazi caricatures? The film can't take its own premise seriously because of its fan base. They cannot see the world as conflicting visions of good, so they have to make whatever they don't like as the very face of evil. They undermine a black and white system of morality from the original movies and replace it with a concept they don't even believe. That's propaganda, not storytelling.
