>the chosen one


When will this shitty trope die?

SW, Harry Potter and Hunger Games use this trope and the result is paper thin Mary sue protagonists.

Lord of the rings on the other side handled it perfectly,showed that everyone can make a difference, in SW if you're not the chosen one you're screwed

>a film about a mythical space race is unrealistic

OP do you even hear how retarded you are

>>63912507

I think you're kind of an idiot, so I'm gonna use your thread for something else.

Screenshot this shit for when the next movie comes out so your mind can get blown: Rey is a clone of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Rey is a bastardization of that archetype and you know it.

In the OT, there was no Chosen One bullshit.

The weird thing is that the CO thing had been done to death before, to the point that Joss Whedon made fun of it in the Buffy movie/series.

Too realistic. Cloning in movies will never be like irl. Movie clones are always identical twins. Doesn't matter that animals cloned irl are NEVER identical (except for their DNA, of course).

Was half expecting for Rey to pull a Neo saving Serenity bullshit with Finn at the end there. Just reaching with her incredible control of the force all of a sudden and making his heart pump. Like... she would make a pumping motion with her hand and he'd suddenly gasp.
You know, make her like Jesus while you're at it, make her even more fucking perfect.

didn't Yoda always refer to it as the one who will restore balance to the force? he didn't mention if it was for good or evil

Star Wars is and always has been about chosen ones and fate and destiny.
