A slight name change

I concur. They really ran the franchise into the ground. Rey is the epitome of a feminist fairytale and Kylo is the product of a hypergamous single mom who turned into a career gal after crapping the bed when it came to raising her son. (There was no evidence that Han stuck around after knocking up Leia). Kylo is also a whiny little bitch. Finn is a coward, although they could have saved his character development if they would have made him more committed to fighting against the first order after his moment of clarity.

The movie was made to make money. They won.

I just switched off all my senses when I went and watched the new Star Wars, and was able to enjoy it for the mayhem and the space stuff. If you can't do that, you'll see it for what it is, a Disney Princess story set in the Star Wars universe.

In a story, it's better to have an excess of weakness than strength, the weakness makes the the triumph in the end all the more sweeter and satisfying, but when you start from strength then we lose our ability to empathize because NOBODY starts from strength in this world. A good character is a flawed character, and as Napoleon once said, "Christ would not have become God if he was not crucified"(remarking on his exile).

Even the Bible follows the premise that a good character is a weak character, ergo Jesus's crucifixion, which allowed mankind to empathize with him. People wanted Jesus to destroy the roman empire, but he saw the bigger picture that empathy and weakness made for a better character & story than the reverence of power.

Empathy sucks us into the story, the main vehicle for this is pain, but for pain to be present there must be imperfection. A character is an amalgam of all sorts of cognitive biases and personnel prejudices as reinforced by experience, if you remove these faults, what you have left is more akin to a machine than a human, which removes our ability to empathize.

I agree entirely, but SocJus sometimes sells so Disney rolled with it

It was really bad, boring. I was glad when it was finally over. Only character I could barely get into was Solo. And Disney is going to make 3 or 4 more of these?

Kara Thrace (Starbuck) in Battlestar Gallactica. Now that's a believable female sci fi character I could appreciate.

I made a thread about this and everyone thought the movie was good. Blah.
