along with how many "mysteries" (Including her) were involved in the movie.

I'm as a big a SW fan as anybody, I have so much SW shit around my house it's sad, but I will say the one thing I no longer love about the franchise is the endless "mysteries" and twists about each character etc etc. The franchise has always been chasing the "No, I am your father" moment since ESB and it's unnecessary.

It's Space Opera, so on one hand I don't mind the twists still being a part of it. And from a practical standpoint, part of it is probably by design because everyone is making the story up as they go along (including Lucas back in the day). And the "mysteries" allow them leeway to figure shit out down the line in the next movies.

But it's now become the focal point of the series as a hook for audiences, and it's annoying.

And they're so blatant and in your face now, too. "I fought with your father in the clone wars" was just a throwaway line, whatever, but TFA was chock FULL of loose ends that were intended to be disclosed later. There were so many, it was completely unsatisfying, instead of having just one or two big ones to think about for the next movie(s).

I have a signature. Apparently this is important, but I still don't have my secret cool kid decoder ring yet.
