I await your writeup (Off-Topic)

I must have missed a lot because by my count there were a lot of character development cul-de-sacs, but nobody really ended up somewhere they were not before. OK, well Luke…

This guy said it best:

The theme of TLJ could be "it's not about me". Luke thinks he's to blame for Kylo. Rey thinks she's the new chosen one. Poe thinks he can save the day single-handed. The film challenges their assumptions and forces them to overcome their egos and embrace collectivism. Clear arcs.

I'd add Finn in there too, but his was kind of ruined by Rose not letting him have his sacrifice.

This movie is about failure.
