    It always makes me laugh how hard the Star Wars equals screwed the pooch on this:

    Episode 7: Rey is cool and mysterious! Who could her parents be? I bet they were someone really important and that’s why she has such great power.

    Episode 8: Her parents were no one! Great power can come from anywhere, even an abandoned orphan girl! Our heritage does not define who we are.

    Episode 9: Just kidding! Her grandpa is Palpatine. Wait? You really thought she got there solely from her own exceptionalism? Haha, you fucking loser! Normies can’t be heroes you idiot! You have to be born into it. Look at Finn, in this movie he doesn’t get an arc because he’s a NOBODY!
