I just don't understand what's driving the narrative anymore...? It's not really the characters as much as it is a resignation to the idea that there will always be this archetypal struggle no matter what happens because Star Wars. It's very meta and very depressing.
I took the opposite feeling from TLJ's ending. I found it very hopeful and inspiring in the suggestion that there might be a way to move beyond this archetypal struggle that has defined Star Wars for so long. Resistance versus First Order, Rebellion versus Empire...now that everything has been burnt to the ground, these new Resistance might actually be the start of something new.
