The new Star Wars: The Force Awakens offers a world of diversity â its heroes span the races and genders. Yet under this, thereâs much to explore â Rey is a butt-kicking heroine, but some might say sheâs so overpowered she has no challenges left. Others might observe that from her clothes and skills to her friends and enemies, sheâs excelling more at the heroâs journey than the heroineâs. Does Finn undergo the classic heroâs journey, or is his too subverted? There are fascinating symbols as well, as Kylo Renâs lightsaber is as unstable as he is, while perception and sight dominate the story arc. From themes to novels and comics, this book explores the hidden depths of the series, revealing them for fans to enjoy. An unauthorized guide.
