This critique contains spoilers for The Last Jedi.

date: December 19, 2017

author(s): Lily Carollo

description: The author observed that the characterization of Ray (Daisy Ridley) in Star Wars: The Last Jedi is inconsistent with the one from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The character is in the new film tempted by the villains, yet her hesitation is not believable, since she was previously depicted as a very moral person. Although she is the film's heroine she was not central to the plot.
