This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I am thankful for the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Its evil because it guns down civilians, and its motivation is to find Luke for some reason. Thats about it. Then some guy by the end of the film says 'We are here to reverse the collapse of the empire'. The resistance is resisting them because the FO is evil.

That's my point. There's no reason for them to be evil. They just do it. There's no setup to be evil. They just are.
The Empire's evil is a consequence of their motivations. The First Order... *shrug*

I don't remember the guy saying "We are here to reverse the collapse of the empire." *Tired sigh* I suppose I should watch it again. Is that the dreary "Hitler yells at the crowd" scene?

Yo RM,  I don't know if you ever got to watch red dwarf, but a lot of people who did and saw general hucks realized he was just an evil Arnold Rimmer.
Fuck the fascist right and the fascist left.

Finn had an interesting backstory.

Then they basically ignored him, in favor of Rey.

Very much this. I liked Fin and wanted to see him maybe force awaken or something. That would have been awesome. Instead he gets sidelined because China dont like dem negroes! And Disney was kowtowing to them so hard its a wonder they didnt leave craters in the cement.

Rey started off as interesting but then before the first movie was even done shes well on her way to being the standard feminist mary sue. The second movie goes full on stupid with this.

A complete movie or miniseries could have been done with the character of Finn and you wouldn't have to even make him a Force user. The House of Mouse squandered a great opportunity there.

When the Disney sequels came out I realized that I really did like Lucas' prequels.  8)

Bill Burr's character in The Mandalorian had a better ex stormtrooper arc in one episode than Finn had in three movies.

Thats because Disney was kowtowing to China and FemNazi edicts and si shiffting Fin out of the spotlight to focus on Rey.

Or maybe they never intended him to be more than a checkmark on the diversity card.

Or both. Its Disney.
