Made even more sillier when you remember Finn has only known Rey for a couple of hours by the time of this scene while Leia had known Han for three years and just formed a romantic relationship with him.
Basically despite taking place in a technologically advanced setting with spaceships, lasers, fighter planes, tanks etc the people behind story still insists of having the characters fight with sword or similar weapons because sword fights are cool.
Star Wars and their lightsabers.
Dune. People have to resort to fighting with short swords because invented personal force fields protect the user from fast attacks like bullets.
Thor and the asgardians. Despite being a technology advanced take on the Norse Myth and that we have seen that the guardians have accecss to long distance energy weapons like laser cannons the asgardians within the story still choose to primarily use melee weapons

Dante’s Inferno. 14th century poem that’s basically a self insert fanfic were Dante the writer is the main character and all the people he hates(including people he never meet) are being tortured in hell.
There are so many questions about the map that makes no sense even if we disregarded The Last Jedi:
Where did it come from?
Why was it separated in two pieces?
Why did R2 have the rest?
Why didn’t R2 share the rest of the map with the Resistance before he went into his droid coma?
Why did R2 awake and reveal the rest of the map the moment that he did? Why didn’t he do it the moment the Resistance looked at the other half of the map before they planned their attack on SKB?
How did Lor San Tekka(I.e Max von Sydom’s character at the start) obtain the first half?
Why were everyone so obsessed with the entire map when all they would need are the end coordinates for Luke’s location?
Also why was Tekka so certain the map would lead to Luke when it was incomplete? Didn’t he know his map was incomplete? Did he know R2 had the rest? If so how and why didn’t he tell Poe or Leia when the arranged the meeting between him and Poe?
In fact how was the meeting with Tekka and Poe even arranged?
Tekka on Jakku communicating with the Resistance by hologram projection: “I have a map to Luke’s location. Meet me up on this basically junk desert planet and I will give it to you”.
General Leia:” Why? If you have map to Luke then you would presumably have the coordinates for his end location. So can just tell me what is now and I will send someone to Luke right now. Unless your map are incomplete and the rest of the map are with me and you know it which would raise the question why you just wouldn’t tell me about it know or how you would know that?”
Robocop. Killed but is restored as Robocop.
Kratos-God of War. Attempts suicide at the end of the first game after the Gods refused to take away his nightmares but they saved him and made him God of War.
Vader-Star Wars. Mutilated, burned and left for dead but is saved by Palpatine so he can continue as his servent.
I haven’t read the book so I’m not sure if this was addressed but I heard the eridian kids Grace interacted with at the end were under 30 years old and Rocky had been gone for 46 years.
So could you imagine the perspective from the students?
An spaceship with a group of “astronauts” was sent into space to save your world before you were born and nothing has been heard from them since then and you are worried your world will eventually end and suddenly the spaceship returns not only with a survivor AND solution for your world’s problem but also WITH AN ALIEN?
And you get to be a student for said alien.
I’ve seen many comments talking about how cool it is to have an alien teacher but not also the fact that it’s an alien that saved your world and his assistant is one of the “astronauts” send to save your world.
Grace isn’t just an alien, he’s basically Superman.
“How do humans reproduce?”
“How often do humans have to extract waste(i.e go to the toilet)?”
