I Am Not Surprised As Far As I Can Tell RJ Went Full EU In That He Might Be Approaching The First Clone

I am not surprised as far as I can tell RJ went Full EU in that he might be approaching the first Clone Wars Cartoon and StarKiller from Force Unleashed power levels. Basically, the POC are filler not just because their little side plot seems to have no major influence on the plot the First Order seems to win easily.

However, in choosing to dive so deep into Force Mythology and awesome Force powers, anyone without said powers is simply left in the dust. This is basically the EU towards the end with the exception of  mostly Han with Boba Fett and Lando to a lesser extent who survived off being Legacy from the OT. Ergo because RJ decided to keep the Force White and couldn't be bothered to come up with a compelling side plot. Well its no wonder there is a few mentions of Finn, a couple more about Rose and none about Poe. Nothing they do is plot relevant and any action scenes they get are easily overshadowed but what sounds like God Level Force Users. Who wants to watch Finn vs Phasma in the B-Plot when it has no emotional resonance and doesn't even look as cool as the Force Fights?  Even with a compelling side plot and no Force in something this Force Centric it would be hard but with a boring side plot, its impossible. B-Plot is there to move the plot forward and break up the Force Beats only. The Force Plot always tend to overshadow the non Force Plot. RJ seemingly did zilch to prevent it and probably didn't even care. Slapped Rose in for some diversity points, tossed Finn the bone of beating Phasma and probably gave Poe some nice space scenes. Called it a day. 

Look, if people had come out of this movie saying Finn is amazing and mentioned the Finnrey reunion, and talked about the diversity, and made clear statements that Kylo remains the villain and about how kick ass feminist things are, I would be able to stomach Rey random. Not the way things seem now.

Honestly besides Driver who I don't like as person much or as a character in Kylo. I am increasingly finding myself liking the cast but absolutely hating the character choices from the writing for most of them. 

I don’t hate Rose Tico. I hate that she’s written as this scolding, impulsive woman who just goes around stunning people with an electro-prod just because they don’t want to fight in a war. Rose is more than that.

No Finn, No Poe, Only A Little Rose from what I seen on twitter....RJ is Genius though apparently for putting the focus on the White Male Mass Murderer and making the Force White Only while dumping all the POC in the irrelevant B-Plot that doesn't even deserve mention by almost all the critics. Consider me unimpressed. 

There’s been jackshit about Finn other than him killing phasma. Spoilers my ass.

THE LAST JEDI Broom Boy

Got to love RJ we meet three orphans being exploited in Canto Bight with similar backstories to Finn want to guess who RJ decides to give the Force out of a White Girl, A White Boy and A Black Boy? The white boy of course as one last fuck you to Finn Fans. Good Old Broom Boy gets the Force but not a fucking lead nah Finn doesn't get shit. Some minor insignificant character is gets to move a broom with no training so really RJ gives Finn fans absolutely nothing of they want and rubs their faces in the dirt about it.

RJ: KEEP THE FORCE WHITE

You can say that I agree but lets face it what is shown in the movies is not someone who has the top of their class in combat. The books don’t matter, heck I am not even sure RJ watched TFA or the OT. Finn got beat by Rey, got beat by TR-8R and beat Phasma cause she was looking the wrong direction. Beyond that while you could argue he showed impressive skills with blasters in TFA...RJ decided not to have him use a blaster at all in TLJ. So I can’t blame the audience forgetting the impression that he is not great at combat cause the movies have done nothing to dissuade that notion. Plus you know the scenes where he is most competent always seem to end up on the cutting room floor remarkable coincidence that is.

This is not to say racism doesn't play a roll at all.

Can Ppl Like You Stop Acting Like Finn Was Just A Janitor He Literally Wasn’t He Was Top Of His Class

can ppl like you stop acting like finn was just a janitor he literally wasn’t he was top of his class and well on his way to be an officer and only worked on sanitation bc that was part of his rotational as a cadet (like every cadet did it) so ofc he would be great at combat bc he was again top of his class

Why the fuck do they think this is a positive. These are trilogies not solo movies. Trilogies, how do you not make sure the movies properly connect. Wtf do KK and her merry band of “Story Group” actually fucking do.

That Explains A Lot Tbh

10 Problems With Finn

As a Finn Fan I cant think of one thing on a list that he got that a Finn fan would want. 1) Force Sensitive? No, Random White Broom Boi gets it. Anyone can have the force isn't it so hopeful. Yeah anyone who is white. 2) Less Comedic Relief? Fuck That Endless Comic Relief 3) Actual Character Development? Hell No lets reset him and repeat. 4) An Arc? Nope nothing he does matters and Rose is Rey but worse now she gives life lessons and she is not the lead. So he is in the B-Plot Now. 5) Can he hang out with Poe? Nope we are killing FinnPoe while Finn and Poe barely interact 6) FinnRey? Not only will they be separated the whole movie while she gets wet over Kylo, they get no fucking lines when they meet each other again 7) Well he was pretty good with a blaster some of that? Nope, he will never use a blaster at all in this movie. So much for commando or hawkeye. 8) A satisfying conclusion to the Phasma fight? Nope no emotional heft between them and he wins due to luck. Books Dont matter 9) Interaction with the Luke or Leia? Hahahaha Hell No. 10) Well shit if you are not going to do anything with him how about a Heroic Death? Hell No, also let me kneecap FinnRey. Also come on Rose sometimes you gotta save the ones you love by killing the people actively trying to kill you. I am sure I could do another 10 but that summarizes Finn pretty well. Not that I wanted a Heroic Death or anything.

Rian Johnson wants FinnRose and he did basically everything in his power to keep Finn and Rey from interacting. They dont even talk in this movie to each other at least they got a hug but you know that was probably improvised by the actors.

Rian wants finnrose but John’s giving us finn dealing w coming to terms w your sexuality and comp het feelings
