Not every character has a death wish or a Kamikaze/Martyr complex. That alone makes your theory null.

Argument could be made that no one thought to do that until now (TLJ)

I actually thought that it was a clever idea. Not the best solution but clever.

This movie plunged 91% during its second weekend in China. It won't even outgross Rogue One. Oops.

Kids (all at once)What about lightning blasts from the sky?

Luke : Oh yes, well we have those too... damn you Yoda...

Kids: (loudly chanting) LIGHT-NING BLASTS! LIGHT-NING BLASTS! YAY!!!!!!!

Kylo Ren and Finn have, now, officially joined Jar Jar in the pantheon of lamest characters while Snoke brilliantly surpassed them all to become the most stupidly written Sith and villain in Disney's history (maybe even in Hollywood's history, time will tell). He will be hard to beat for sure!

We are witnessing HISTORY here, pretty much the death of a glorious franchise (Thanks to Jar Jar Abrams and now Johnson).

Honestly, I MISS LUCAS.

Even though the prequels were no masterpieces, they considerably enriched the Star Wars mythology. Think about it. They brought us Theed, the rule of two, Maul...many amazing things that are now canon, and a beautiful canon at that.

Episode 7 was not only completely sterile as it didn't bring anything new but just recycled old episode 4 story plots but it also violated many Star Wars canonical facts without even trying to explain them...why?

And now we have episode 8, a travesty of a Star Wars movie that has absolutely nothing memorable except its mediocrity.

R.I.P Star Wars, you had a good life.
