Mid-movie is fine; *I* just don’t want to come away from the movie with her being evil.
I fully own that I am more “old-fashioned” in my opinions. (And no, I didn’t ask my husband who to vote for.
) I know that good people aren’t 100% good and (most) bad people aren’t 100% bad. And plenty of people make mistakes and can be redeemed (a la Vader).
This somehow has devolved into a gender issue, but my original question was about how Disney has positioned Rey’s character in its merchandising as being a *role model* for young girls. If Rey turns (for the duration of the movie or franchise), what do they do with that? The First Order/Dark Side is cold, ruthless, and oppressive. It discourages individualism and promotes conformity. It is about abusing power not empowerment. So yeah, not exactly what I want my child - daughter OR son - to look up to.
