Sometimes I’m still surprised that Rian Johnson didn’t understand what Rey’s question was. Like, our question was “who are her parents?” but Rey’s question, for herself, as a character, was “why did they abandon me?” which is why that scene in the cave makes no sense. it’s a cool-looking scene, but the whole time you’re watching it, you’re going “doesn’t she know who her parents are, even though we, the audience, don’t and are dying to know?” like when she was left on Jakku, she was old enough to be able to remember who they are.
