Not only do Rey and Poe not even meet until the end of TLJ (outside of the novelization), but Rey and Finn are also separated for most of the movie. The fact that TRoS makes a big deal out of them being the trio of the ST just feels so forced.

That was the least of the trilogy's problems.

That was the least of the trilogy's problems. But also indicative of it's problems at the core, no planning, and stupid writing but mostly no planning.

Not only do Rey and Poe not even meet until the end of TLJ (outside of the novelization), but Rey and Finn are also separated for most of the movie. The fact that TRoS makes a big deal out of them being the trio of the ST just feels so forced. It feels forced because it was forced. Even from the beginning there wasn’t a plan to make them a well bonded trio. Even at the start of TFA. Finn was supposed to be Rey’s loyal, comic relief sidekick. Poe wasn’t even supposed to be a part of the trio. He was just there to get Finn to Jakku. Finn couldn’t have piloting skills to do it for himself because Rey had to shine. She had to be the one hotdogging, flying the Falcon. Poe was supposed to die when they crashed. Only because Oscar Isaac begged Abrams to keep his character in the story did this appearance of a trio come about. Rewriting Poe to lead the space battle proved to be useful for the story. And probably made less complicated than having Rey lead the space battle then go to the surface to duel Kylo. The rewriting made them look like a trio because we get Poe bonding with Finn before flying off to Starkiller base. And Finn hugs Rey after finding her. But if Rey was in the space battle (because originally no Poe at that point in the movie), then we would’ve probably never had that scene. So the trio bond was an accident of rewriting. Translation: there was no plan for a trio. And you already covered how Rian Johnson did not make “the trio” a theme of TLJ. Abrams forced it in TROS because thematically it had to share the positive, victorious ending that ROTJ had. What a hack job the writing was in this trilogy! |
