Even as far in as the throne room scene in 7, I thought it "would reject the binary and grand meta-narrative" and Ren and Rey would learn from each other and build, but no.

My take on Star Wars, is that while the Sith were "bad", the Jedi weren't really good. Obi-wan and Yoda basically told Luke much of the same dogma as Vader and Sideous: - Your friends are your weakness - You must kill Vader - Do what we want, or we'll bring your sister into this

Also in the prequels: - The Jedi took children away from their family at a young age, and indoctinated them into asceticism, where even family attachment was looked down on. - Negative emotions (fear, anger, etc) were vilified, to the point a kid like Anakin couldn't properly manage them.

This comic was astonishingly insightful, and really got me thinking. It put into context not only the newest Star Wars trilogy, but a great deal of other media as well. I love your comics, but I especially love them when they show me new ways to look at things. Thank you.
