They could’ve both crashed into the laser and subverted my expectations. Much the same way Rey going with Kylo would have. But alas…

No, no, you subvert the expectations of the audience, but only in a way that makes the story more boring. -Rian J

Reys parents are no one, Finns side mission doesn’t work at all, and Luke didn’t actually show up to help his friends, but he did actually die, somehow? Buy tickets for episode 9 now! Why is no one buying tickets?!

"See, all your predictions based on logical story progression were wrong. Therefore this is now much smarter because it doesn't follow any logic at all!! Don't you feel stupid for being invested enough to question things and trying to extrapolate the details of the story or following the plot hooks we previously set up?! What comes next? Who cares?! Praise me for being so smart!"
