Still my least favorite of The Last Jedi: Leia’s abandonment of hope in her son. This is the only part of the movie I cannot understand from Rian’s perspective. I can’t get behind it. I do hope JJ fixes this aspect somehow because I think it’s a huge mistake.
I did NOT like Leia in this movie.
She literally just turned her back on her son. The resilient, unyielding, badass General of the Resistance couldn’t face her son long enough to know that it wasn’t even him who pulled the trigger on her in the end. I just can’t get over that. There’s just something so unfeeling and soulless about the way that, yet again, a mother/child relationship was passed over and just straight up ignored.
Hmm I understand but disagree.
I think Leia just reached a certain point where she grew tired of hoping. She still loves her son, but seeing him attack the Resistance, kill multiple people, and then come back to finish them off–it disappointed her. She was let down by Kylo’s actions and it changed the way she viewed him; she doubted herself and him. That’s normal. It happens to everyone–it happened to Luke. Trust and hope are delicate things, and Leia doesn’t HAVE to constantly support him or his actions. She wavered. That’s why Luke was there to remind her that people can still be saved, because he had those same doubts, and Rey helped him see otherwise. Leia’s human, she isn’t a supermom. She needs support just like everyone else.
I just wonder what they’re planning to do with her in Ep 9…I’d love to see a reunion between them, but…I don’t know if it’s going to happen.
I get it, about people being tired of hoping. My point is the portrayal of the relationship (or lack of) between Leia and Ben just left a bitter taste in my mouth. Once again, it was just Leia talking about hope while watching the men go out to face her son while she waits behind. Something about that just didn’t feel right to me. I just wanted Leia’s relationship with her son to be an important part of her story. Now it’ll never be😢
Keep in mind Kylo did kill Han. Even if they separated that’s a really heavy blow on that relationship. Do you keep loving your son even after you hear he killed the one who had your heart?
Yes you love your child. Yes. That’s the issue. The mother giving up on the child so the heroine can be more of a hero is an issue to me. It wasn’t necessary to have Leia give up on her son and seems regressive in character to me.
I think the bigger is that Kylo hasnt just killed his father. He killed the padowans at Luke’s temple. He’s killed thousands of rebels, some of who Leia probably knew for much longer than she knew her son. And then he killed Han. And continued to kill more of the people she cared for.
She realized there was nothing to redeem from Kylo anymore, regardless if he did not pull the trigger. He is no longer Ben Solo, he is a dark side force user who already has a rack sheet of wiping out armies and even innocents who had no direct part in the galactic civil war.
It has nothing to do with the heroine. Rei didnt make Kylo join the dark side. Rei didn’t make Kylo kill his father. Rei didn’t make Kylo try to kill his mother.
Kylo is the cause of his own abondonment. He destroyed everything that loved him and so everything that he loves abandons him. Leia letting go of her son is the continued sign that Kylo created his own loneliness and that these are the consequences of his continuing actions that continue to hurt her.
