The original Star Wars formula was having our hero be a likable doofus fuckup who grows into power and nobility over time Luke and Han in ANH both had this TPM lacked it (the "Luke" and "Han" were, disastrously, little Anakin and Jar-Jar) The sequels did not stick the landinghttps://twitter.com/remembrancermx/status/1354887688667582465 …

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"?

I agree with this so much. It really is upsetting. Why did this happen though? How could they mess it up so thoroughly?

Classic example of too many cooks. Put one guy in charge and he screws it up, it's still screwed up. That's the prequels in a nutshell. But this chimera of half-baked ideas? That's design by committee. None had the vision & the clout to give the sequels consistent direction.

They compliment one another so well, I don’t understand why we couldn’t have both as heroes, & Finn specifically leading a stormtrooper rebellion
