RIAN JOHNSON: "In this movie, the easiest thing that, the wish fulfillment for Rey and for the audience, would be, “Yes, you are so and so’s daughter. Yes, here is your place in this movie. Here is how you fit in. Problem solved.” I can understand why Rey would desperately want that and why us, we as an audience, do too. But the hardest … but we’re not here to give Rey an easy time, we’re here to put her on the hard path so that she has to … because that’s the path of a hero. And the hardest thing she could hear is, “You’re not gonna get that easy answer. You’re going to [inaudible 00:02:41] not going to be defined by your lineage in this. You’re going to have to stand on your own two feet and to find yourself. And, not only that, Kylo is going to use the fact that you don’t have that to stand on to try and get you to lean on him in this moment. And you’re going to have to find the strength within yourself to define yourself in this world.” And that’s hard. It needs to be hard. It should be hard.”
