As you always implied I had a problem with non white male lead characters even though I don't and I took my time to explain my issues with Rey or Michael, I almost did not want to reply to your post but I do feel vindicated now that star wars has collapsed. the racist sexist card Disney narrative that has played out for long has disappeared in front of their eyes and Disney can now admit the mess they made out of star wars.
I know they are cannon, but I have no connection to them, I can easily just keep ignoring them. Palatine died in Return of the Jedi. Both characters are Mary Sues. As a trek fan, I call Micahel, Arc-Angel Michael, Rey is all demigod.
it was poorly written, I cringed when they kissed. I think Reylo had some potential but now it is worse than twilight. worse than anakin and padme.
the kiss was JJ Abrams making reylo cannon for their fan base, (you get the fan service stuff, critics are hating on) for a second and quickly shutting it out. its the only way to explain the bizarre quick death. Also why didn't rey just heal him again? some words would have helped. that kiss is more of a gag reel, than the actual film
the first shot of rey, we see her floating in the air. makes me wonder why Yoda never did that in attack of the clones, He used to use a floating sit.
