What????????????
>>
>>67749428
for the first time we have a stormtrooper as the main character

just fuck off

>what was the point of poe?
>what was the point of leia?
>what was the point of han solo?

all in the same boat
>>
>>67750747
But he's not a stromtrooper any more.
>>
Comic relief. He and bb8 are the new c3p0 and r2.
>>
>>67749428
To provide Rey with a likable, pure hearted, supporting love interest.

they might have fucked up a bit because everyone likes him more than Rey and he seems more like the main protagonist
>>
>>67750948
>>67749428
He should have been the main character desu. Rey should have become a skilled Jedi and turned to the darkside as well. At which point an out of league Finn would have to learn the ways of the force and take her on. I don't really care about the agenda pushing. His actor was the best of the new trio and they wasted him on silly quips and making the character a joke. he should have been more tormented by the things he had done and had trouble killing after he left the first order.
>>
>>67751060
What was "best" about him? He's one stormtrooper amongst millions who has a change of heart and all of a sudden thinks what he's doing is wrong and wants out.

It has all so clumsy and ham fisted it seemed unrealistic.

Dreadful character. Should have been killed by Darth Marilyn
>>
Nothing makes sense in this movie
>>
>>67751194
I didn't say he was the best character. I did say it was poorly handled. I do think he should have been the main character. I do think his actor was very good in the role.
>>
>>67751239
What do you expect from a film more interested in pushing a SJW agenda rather than actually telling a story.

>let's have le black main character
>let's have le ebin stronk female lead DEFINITELY NOT A MARY SUE
>let's have le stronk female stromtrooper captain to reassert these masked soldiers aren't all men

Shut up, Mae
>>
>>67751328
You said he was the best of the new three.

So what is "best" about him?
>>
>>67751390
People who use "le" should fucking kill themselves.

And not just the Spanish ones.
>>
>>67751487
I'll fuck you right in le pussy, Quiche Lorraine!

>>67751437
oh my bad
he had actual screen time, unlike poe
he was an actual character, wasn't a 'total' mess and could actually act, unlike rey
>>
>>67751393
How about I boot your balls into your skull?
>>
>>67750747
>the main character

Rey is the main character.
>>
>>67749428

He's being setup to be the new Han, except in a leading role.
>>
>>67749428

future progressive homosex storyline

>>67751390

>SJW bogey man.

Christ.
>>
>>67749428

What was the point of Lukes character?

Or Han Solos character?

Or any other character for that matter?

They were used to tell a story.
>>
>>67752052
Tell that to kanji klub.
>>
get blacks in the theater

He was the only believable character in the whole movie. Every other character looked like they are trying to be someone else they are not. But his was geniune.

pretty ballsy character

any other mainstream american movie has had the balls to depict a deserter soldier as a hero?
>>
>>67749428
The movie wasn't good, but Finn was one of the few pretty good things about it
>>
He wasn't the problem, the film was trotting along nicely until Rey turned up.

>tfw no film where Poe and Finn landed together and found the droid wandering the sands alone
>>
the only point is bill
>>
Where is Anthony Burch?
>>
rolling for bill in random threads
>>
>>67749428
Shoehorning social propaganda.
>>
What was the point of the "resistance" not being the new republic army?

What were the goals of the new order? Did they just want to destroy things? Are they just terrorists or did they actually want to restore Empirical rule?

If Finn is able to break his programming naturally over time wouldn't it be reasonable to assume everyone else can as well? Am I supposed to cheer for the assholes that just blew up a bunch of unwilling slaves?

Why did artoo randomly decide to wake up?
>>
>>67752609
That's because he was literally playing a wishful thinking version of the average joe thrust into the Star Wars world. Which is fucking ridiculous considering his background, which was almost entirely wasted and almost entirely not present in his character. That's where your "believability" comes from.
>>
>>67752790
If they're from the bad side of evil, then yes it's usually portrayed as heroic to defect. This plot has come up before.
>>
he's black.

can you like not? like wow, seriously.

Jedi love interest.

Watch the trilogy end with them training the next generation which includes at least one of their kids.

With Rey saying to the kids "The Force is strong in my family. My grandfather had it, my father has it, his sister has it, her son has it and I have it. You have that power too."
