Doctor Who Season 14 Copied The Last Jedi's Controversial Twist, But Only 1 Franchise Got It Right

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Doctor Who season 14's finale borrowed a controversial idea from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but one franchise executed the twist far better than the other. Of the many running mysteries woven throughout Doctor Who season 14, the secret of Ruby Sunday's parentage was arguably the most seismic.

It is easy to understand, then, why The Last Jedi confirming Rey as a random protagonist with no prior connection to the Star Wars universe could be deemed anticlimactic and disappointing. At the very least, backtracking after The Force Awakens was always going to prove divisive. On the other hand, The Last Jedi's Rey twist worked on both a logical and thematic level.

Related The Last Jedi Has Aged Far Better Than Force Awakens & Rise Of Skywalker Star Wars: The Last Jedi has only got better since it first released, but the same cannot be said for The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker. Ruby saves the day not because she's a timeless TARDIS creature from Trenzalore and Clara Oswald's cousin's roommate twice-removed, but because she has courage and heart.
