Oh boy, so Finn wasn’t that important, eh?
Actually, I was disappointed in these Disney movies as I didn’t really understand where any of these characters was important.
FGS, Poe basically was hardly in the first movie, and I didn’t quite get why he had such command with the rest.
The build-up of character and why they should even care about each other was poor. I never understood why Rey suddenly was treated as this great chosen one, nor FTM her constant long looks and hugging with Leia. I mean, FGS, how does she really know her? Why would Leia get so personal with this stupid girl in rags?
I mean, we learn why in the last movie, but yes, it was a great mystery before that, and since they didn’t deal with it at all, kind of a magic moment thing.
It is easy to “shock” people watching a movie, if you simply ignore a fact until you need it. That is the cheap way of writing.
