It seems like Rian Johnson and the Star Wars braintrust went out of their way to do the opposite of what fans expected because -- why not? The misdirection worked in the film, but the place it got them to with respect to Rey's parents, Snoke, Luke, and Leia would actually have been better if they had gone in the opposite direction. I get that you don't want to be derivative, but they ended up in just about the worst place you could take a Star Wars film and they did it only to "be different."
Audience scores continue to fall in difference to the reviewers. Big disconnect on this one.
