Midpoint: There are Moments of Truth all over the place here. This is the pinch felt by the protagonists, but note that the audience is also given major new clues and antagonistic emphasis when they learn that the evil Kylo Ren is, in fact, Han and Leia’s son. She agrees to help Finn-whom she thinks is with the Resistance-get BB-8 to safety.įirst Pinch Point: After being located and brought aboard ship by Han Solo-who is smuggling expensive monsters-they are all attacked by vengeful gangs who are out to recoup the money they’ve lost from Han by taking the fugitives back to the First Order. She is now a fugitive from the First Order, just the same as BB-8 and Finn. Now Rey has not only brushed the conflict she’s firmly enmeshed with. Together, all three of them flee the planet aboard the Millennium Falcon.

Up to this point, we’ve seen plenty of conflict, but the plot has been mostly concerned with introducing characters and situations. She is the protagonist, and this is her first brush with the conflict-hence, this is the Inciting Event. Inciting Event: Rey sees the Resistance droid BB-8 about to be scavenged for parts and rescues him.
