When it comes to discourse about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the prevailing consensus is that Finn and Rose’s mission to Canto Bight was wasted time. Putting aside the fact that it was meant to be wasted time, at least with respect to the Resistance, it seems some still can’t see what the point of this story-within-the-story was.In fairness to the good-faith critics of The Last Jedi, there do seem to be more than a few better options for helping the Resistance if they have a ship capable of hyperspace travel. If they had all worked together, perhaps they could’ve found a better way to utilize that resource. The Last Jedi is a meditation on failure, and so this terrible plan is meant to be doomed. Instead, this sequence is meant to highlight a harsh political reality that illuminates how the galaxy fell back into this cycle of conflict. Everyone remembers Rose’s speech about how she wanted to put her “fist through this whole lousy, beautiful town.” But no one ever remembers the second half of that conversation, when the codebreaker they teamed up with, DJ, reveals Rose only knew half the story. To put an exclamation point on it, Rian Johnson then had DJ turn out to be the exact kind of person he warned them about.RELATED: The Secret Knowledge in Luke Skywalker’s Sacred Jedi Texts, Explained
