Star Wars The Last Jedi: Can Rey Balance the Force?

Cinema 22 May, 2017

Is Rey destined to actually restore balance in the Force in Star Wars: The Last Jedi? But in this case, how could this balance be translated?
Would Jedi philosophy not be adapted to the problems of the distant galaxy, far away? This is in any case a bit of the feeling that we experienced when watching the first teaser trailer of Star Wars: The Last Jedi . In any case, Luke’s remarks let us hear more or less that it was time for the Jedi to bow, thus resonating with the title of this second episode of the trilogy. But if, as he says in the trailer of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Luke wishes the end of the Jedi so … why does he drive Rey ? For there is no doubt that the young woman follows the teachings of our former hero, learning to master the Force to the point of levitating pebbles above the ground. The answer to this question is of course that he is probably trying to extinguish the famous ” balance ” that Rey mentions when he questions her about what she sees. Could our heroine simply bring a new kind of Force users to life?
Already, one must know what is meant by ” balance” . The notion has always been central to the saga, but has never really been explored. Qui-Gon thought thus that Anakin was the Chosen One of Prophecy, the one supposed to restore equilibrium. And we know how it ended. But who tells us that massacring all the Jedi, except for Yoda and Obi-Wan, did not just mean to restore the balance between the dark side and the luminous side of the Force, each being represented by only two individuals? Unless the final act of Darth Vader, who gets rid of Palpatine by throwing him into the Black Star’s well, did not fulfill the Prophecy at that time. Or, it is Luke who brings stability between the two sides of the Force by bringing his father back to the good. But in any case, the boundaries between darkness and light are well defined and the Star Wars universe has been extremely Manichaean. Except that the new trilogy could bring a whole new look at the Force and how to use it.

It is necessary to bear in mind that Rian Johnson, the director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, considers that the title must actually be read in the singular . Which means that the last Jedi is none other than Luke himself, the one who was the last to receive the Jedi teachings through Obi-Wan and Yoda. Which also means that he has absolutely no intention of making Rey a real Jedi as it is understood in the usual sense of the term. Whatever he may have learned during his exile, it is clear that he has lost faith and that he has chosen to borrow a different path from his disciple. Because the Force is evidently powerful in it, and because the drastic separation between the darkness and the light has finally never brought anything good, Rey could therefore give birth to a whole new kind of users of the Force , which would draw as well in its dark side as in its luminous side. And this mixture of the two would then reach the desired equilibrium. Rey might well not be the only one to follow this path. For who tells us that Kylo Ren, who alone represents the conflict between light and darkness and who can not completely swing to one side or the other, will not follow it? What do you think ?
