re: Rian Johnson says Empire Strikes Back would have been criticized if it came out today

I would have loved Rey getting her arse kicked by Kylo in TFA. Would have actually given her some motivation to actually train for once.

if you follow the OT/Empire template, she should be defeated in TLJ.

Someone tell me why she should worry, train harder, or reach deep at this point.
Hmmm, I did make a Mike Tyson reference in an earlier post; Disney and Abrams can't be doing that with her, can they? Make everything so easy that it's a shocker when some nobody beats her?
We're too late in the story for something like that, aren't we? She's the hero, makes zero sense for her to lose in the last film.
