But they never finished the journey It doesn't go anywhere He just ends up a sidekick to Rey Without taking anything away from Daisy Ridley, that was total fucking bullshit

I'm totally fine - more than fine - with you making the Black character a flawed person with a streak of self-serving cowardice (just like Han Solo was to start with) IF IT PAYS OFF IN THE END If you get the big hero moment, looking Leia in the eyes and saying "I know"

If you don't pay it off, then all that just becomes a straight up insult, you just slapped all the Black fans pinning their hopes on this character in the face, including the kids Where's Finn's "You're all clear, kid!"? Where's his "I know"?
