She saves the person we care about when we did not worry about saving the person she cared about at the film’s start.Īs to how Rose thought her and Finn would make it back to safety without getting blasted to pieces by the First Order, I really don’t know xD, but these sort of improbable outcomes are reached in Star Wars movies, often without explanation. Some in the audience hope he will succeed, some hope there is still a way he will come out of this alive. The audience feels more concerned for the loss of Finn’s life. Contrast that scene with Finn’s attempt to sacrifice himself. We root for Rose’s sister to be successful, the film draws the scene out, the switch to release the bombs falls past the platform that Rose’s sister is lying on, and we worry she has failed, she turns, grabs hold of the switch, releases the bombs, we cheer because this means the First Order will be hurt. Rose’s sister sacrificing herself at the film’s start (as she clutches her half of a pendant she shared with Rose) mirrors Finn’s attempt to sacrifice himself at the film’s close. The destruction of the ship was not necessary to insure the escape of The Resistance. Yes Poe’s leadership destroyed a powerful First Order ship, and he was overjoyed by hurting what he hated, but he did not take into account all the people he led to their deaths to make that goal happen. The line is not a critique of Finn’s attempt to sacrifice himself, it is a critique of Poe Dameron’s actions at the start of the film, the action’s that led to the death of Rose’s sister. Rose saved what she loved by stopping Finn from sacrificing himself. “That’s how we’re going to win, not fighting what we hate, saving what we love.”įinn was trying to save what he loved by stopping the siege canon. I think much of the confusion around the line comes from the idea that it is delivered as a critique of Finn’s attempt to sacrifice himself, when you instead look at the line as an explanation of why Rose stopped Finn from sacrificing himself the line makes more sense. When Rose delivered the line a lot of people thought something along the lines of “but Finn was trying to save what he loved!”, and that’s understandable. saving what you love mean in the context of Finn’s attempt to sacrifice himself to slow the attack of The First Order on Crait? What does the idea of fighting what you hate vs. Until Kylo stops allowing his actions to be guided by hatred he will not be fully redeemed. Kylo’s motivation was mixed, yes I believe he wanted to save Rey, but he also acted out of hatred for Snoke, and his actions following Snoke’s death continue to be motivated by hatred (it led to him to being deceived by Luke on Crait). Kylo killed The Supreme Leader and saved Rey, is he redeemed now? I don’t think so, why is that? It’s because Vader’s motivation in the moment he killed The Emperor was his love for his son, he wanted to save Luke. Why is the good guy the good guy? Does killing a bad guy make you a good guy? Vader killed The Emperor and saved Luke, it redeemed him. It’s the main message of Lucas’s 6 films. Saving what you love the way of the Jedi. ||| Join our Discord! ||| Question?
