But, you say, Rey doesn’t fall to the Dark Side.
She doesn’t fall, no. She doesn’t turn evil. But watch that scene again. She closes her eyes. She reaches for the Force. And when she opens her eyes again, she snarls. She beats Kylo Ren back with brute strength and vicious, choppy saber-blows, like Luke used in Return of the Jedi when the Dark Side tempted him. When Ren’s forced to his knees, she circles him with the Dark Side stalk. Daisy Ridley delivers a perfect physical quote of Ray Park’s Darth Maul. ”
GIVE ME A FORCE USER WHO ISN’T LIGHT OR DARK BUT GREY. Let her use her passion to guide her. Let her not close her eyes to focus but open them, stare down her enemies and her imminent death and run right over them. Let her not be penitent. Let her be messy and complicated and hungry for freedom–for herself and for others. Let her butt heads with her allies but still stand beside them, because even though she draws her power from a darker place, she isn’t dark, she is burning and brilliant and she is going to save you, all of you, every single one, just you fucking wait.
This.
