"Rian Johnson was mocking Star Wars fans for expecting Star Wars tropes in TLJ!"

No. Star Wars fans just happened to have the exact same flaw that the character, Rey, had: too much focus on her parents. That made her easy to relate to. But the whole point, down to the first movie she was introduced in (which WASN'T written by Rian Johnson) was that her parents were never important.

Star Wars fans should've expected that reveal. It was already set up. Maz literally tells Rey in the first movie to quit focusing so much on her parents. The filmmakers literally told you "she's wrong to put so much stock in who her parents are" in The Force Awakens. He just carried that theme on and y'all weren't ready for it because you never wanted to accept it in the first place.

Same thing with Snoke. Kylo Ren was introduced as a character who only wants one thing: strength. He thinks that strength will solve his emotional frailty. He's insecure. (Because reasons, to do with his family and their lack of faith in him.) Rey straight-up discovers that his biggest fear is "never being as strong as Darth Vader" and says it out loud so that the audience will get it.

You really think, when he was introduced as a character who believes killing mentor-father-figures will make him feel stronger and therefore more secure, that Snoke ever had a chance of getting past the second movie alive?

=

They straight-up introduced these characters with certain flaws, which lead to certain motives, which so happen to lead to different conclusions than common Star Wars fan theories.

Because that's the beauty of the Sequels. They acknowledge the legendary status of the Original Trilogy Tropes, then grow beyond those tropes.

Or at least. They were starting to. Until Star Wars fans threw continued hissy fits because they didn't want a story, they wanted a 💫 Star Wars Checklist Cleverly Disguised as a Story.💫

Then the powers-that-be were like "okay they're really not looking for a good story, just give 'em the checklist they were looking for." And you got exactly that in The Rise of Skywalker.

But Rian Johnson wasn't mocking you. He was just taking the next logical, compelling step in the previously-established arcs of well-written characters. And carrying on the Sequel's initial trademark of "appreciate the past by growing beyond it." Y'know. Like a good writer.

🧛‍♂️VAMPIRE for the Dracula ask game!!

(btw I just finished episode 1 and oh my god???? Really kicked us in the teeth there, can't wait for more!!!🖤🖤)

🧛Dracula Daily Ask Game🧛

Question: 🧛‍♀️VAMPIRE Which book do you think Dracula fans should read next?

Answer:

Gabriel Urbina: Oooh, two come to mind!

S. by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams is the first one. A literary mystery that unfolds in the marginalia and annotations of a shifting, mysterious novel. If Dracula is reading an account after the papers have been put in sequence, this is getting to be a part of the story that emerges as the papers are put in sequence. An experience like no other, and it really does make you feel like you become Mina Harker for a little while as you read it.

And then Jamie McKelvie's brilliant, gothic One For Sorrow just released its first issue and I want everyone to read this book. Dark, thrilling, with tremendous characters, set in the same era as Dracula and exploring a lot of the same preoccupations of modernity clashing against the occult and supernatural. Plus, oh my god, it's so beautiful, just look at this thing:
