Creator's Summary: I want to make a brief comparison between our three main protagonists, focusing in the way they are written. I would like to make two points in this meta. The first one is that Kylo, Rey and Finn are the protagonists and the second one is that Finn and Kylo are analogues from different realms (Finn is an action hero while Kylo is a dramatic one), while Rey is Kylo’s mirror in the spiritual realm/another dramatic hero. In terms of storytelling, that is reflected in how Finn is written as a hero of an action-based plot and Kylo and Rey as heroes of character-based plots.

Reasons for reccing: This is a bit of an older meta, but it’s one of the best metas I have ever seen that perfectly explains the arcs of Rey, Finn, and Kylo in a comprehensive and poignant way. Tumblr user fluffycakesistainted calls this meta the “most perfect distillation of the Narrative Trio’s arcs I’ve ever seen” and I think that’s a really apt description of what this meta manages to achieve.
