8. Lightsaber – Community Property?
Since when could a person just pick up someone else’s lightsaber and wield it around like they have been using it for a lifetime? As defined, lightsabers are weapons used by the Jedi and the Sith. It is also a weapon that requires a high level of skill and extraordinary training. Remember Luke in Episode 4? What’s strange is that Finn, our defected Stormtrooper, is easily able to grab Luke Skywalker’s old lightsaber and use it as if he had been training with it for years. This is a major story flaw being that Finn hasn’t been trained with such a weapon. Even if he is a closet Jedi (which we have no evidence of at this point), his ability to adequately use the weapon owned by another Jedi is a major head scratcher. Again, our heroes are just too strong and too good in this movie. They never seem to have to overcome much of anything.
