Light and Darkness in Humanity

After watching this one, I made up the first 8. I can only say that the Star Wars series is too exciting, with a grand cosmology and hard-core special effects. You must know that the first movie was 40 years ago. No wonder you are watching it recently. "The Big Bang Theory" is so keen on Star Wars stalks that after finishing the movie, I can finally understand these stalks. Aside from the discussion of the political system involved in the film, the discussion of human nature in the film is even more touching. Almost every young Jedi faces two choices at some stage: the light side and the dark side, and they tend to come from the light and end up in the dark. Because the power of the dark side is stronger, it happens that they have a desire for more powerful power. When this desire expands to a certain extent, they lose their reason and belief, and fall into the abyss of darkness. Snagin Skywalker turns into a black man. Warrior Darth Vader (man with BGM!), Ben Solo becomes Kylo Ren. And Luke and Rey chose the bright side. Of course, they also experienced painful torment, but in the end they did not succumb to their "fate". Even if you turn to darkness, there is still light in your heart; even if you are in the light, you will still struggle. This is human nature, complex and changeable. The Star Wars series tells the struggle between the Republic guarded by the light Jedi and the empire controlled by the dark Jedi. Is the story over? I'm afraid not, because "where there is light, there is darkness, and the stronger the light, the stronger the darkness", I don't know how the next story will begin. Anyway, may the force be with you!

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker quotes

  • Finn: This is a First Order part.

    Jannah: There's an old cruiser on the west ridge. Stripped for parts. The one we were assigned to. The one we escaped in.

    Finn: Okay, wait. You were First Order?

    Jannah: Not by choice. We were conscripted kids. All of us. I was TZ-1719. Stormtrooper.

    Finn: FN-2187.

    Jannah: You?

    Finn: I never knew there were more.

    Jannah: Deserters? All of us here were stormtroopers. We mutinied at the battle of Ansett Island. They told us to fire on civilians. We wouldn't do it. We laid our weapons down.

    Finn: All of you?

    Jannah: The whole company. I don't even know how it happened. It wasn't a decision, really, it was like...

    Finn: An instinct. Feeling.

    Jannah: A feeling.

    Finn: The Force. The Force brought me here. It brought me to Rey. And Poe.

    Jannah: You say that like you're sure it's real.

    Finn: It's real. I wasn't sure then... but I am now.

  • Kylo Ren: [through the Force] Palpatine wants you dead.

    Rey: Serving another master?

    Kylo Ren: No. I have other plans.

    [beat]

    Kylo Ren: I offered you my hand once. You wanted to take it. Why didn't you?

    Rey: You could've killed me. Why didn't you?

    Kylo Ren: You can't hide, Rey. Not from me.

    Rey: I see through the cracks in your mask. You're haunted. You can't stop seeing what you did to your father.

    Kylo Ren: Do you still count the days since your parents left? Such pain in you. Such anger. I don't wanna have to kill you. I'm going to find you and I'm going to turn you to the Dark Side. When I offer you my hand again... you'll take it.

    Rey: We'll see.
