In the sixth installment of our The Force Awakens series, Finn comes clean, Rey has a vision about Luke’s lightsaber, and the First Order destroys Hosnian Prime.
It is time for the next installment in our The Force Awakens series. As we celebrate the movie for its tenth anniversary, we are breaking it down into 10-15 minute segments and dissecting each moment of the film. In this episode, we are talking about Finn’s desire to run from the First Order, Rey’s refusal to take up the Skywalker lightsaber, and the destruction of Hosnian Prime by the First Order. There are plenty of character moments in this segment and opportunities to discuss the hero’s journey. Plus, how did Maz Kanata acquire Luke’s lightsaber in the first place?
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Maz Kanata recognizing the fear in Finn,
- Rey’s plea to Finn not to leave,
- Rey’s vision when she touches Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber,
- Maz’s attempt to convince Rey to take up the lightsaber, and
- The First Order uses Starkiller base to destroy Hosnian Prime.
Check out the last installment of our The Force Awakens series in episode 1036.
