Finn served plenty of purpose in Force Awakens. I don’t get the hate. I’ll be interested in his story from this point on to see where it goes, but he was an important catalyst in Rey’s story in Force Awakens.

Can you explain a little more without giving spoilers?
I can try. There's a rumor out that something pretty unexpected happens that would be bad enough by itself, but the way it happens (again, if true) sounds like one of the lamest ideas in any Star Wars movie ever.

Hope that is the case. Lot of smoke.

. that was appropriately vague, haha, but is what I wanted to hear. I am more worried about the movie continuing the soft reboot model and copying too much from Empire, so I’m relieved to know that is not the complaint. I can tolerate some unexpected plot twists, even if it requires some suspension of belief.

From what I've gathered:

Finn sucks still but everything else is amazing


He and his story seem to fit nowhere in the film... Why does Shia character even exist? That what made the roginsl 3 so great, there were very little wasted/shoehorned in characters or screentime, especially in the first two.

Finn is a complete forced character that will probably take up story that could otherwise be devoted to fleshing out the primary players.

Haven't seen that gripe anywhere, and most of the stuff I've read hails it's originality as a story

Those weren't critics though, they were just fans, probably paid for by WB.

People who want to dictate wether or not people can enjoy Finn as a character need to frick out of this thread and go whine about black people somewhere else.

Stop being a snowflake who is so triggered by the sight of a black man that you feel the need to comment on it at every opportunity.

I would also like to add people who want to dictate what the story is and are disappointed it doesn’t go the way they want. Film is a passive medium. The only thing you should be concerned with is whether you like it or not. Trying to reengineer a movie is a waste of time

I think it will be OK. I don't think it's going to blow anyone away but I have a feeling it will be a solid entry to the franchise

Just asking a question dude. I do like to read reactions without getting spoilers; who cares 





As do I, considering we are in a thread about reactions. but I don't want to see anything remotely considered spoilery, especially in a thread where there aren't supposed to be any, even if they are just theories.

What do you base your feelings on?

From day one there has never been any indication whatsoever that Rian Johnson has done anything other than knock the ball out of the park and as we have crept closer to the release date, everything seems to be pointing in that direction even more so.

We might as well turn this into the official hype thread. Embargo lifts in just two days and the full comes out in just 5 days, just 4 days for others

This reads like wishful thinking.

You have no way to substantiate this.

This thread just reminds me how insufferable this board is going to be over this movie.

Besides the fact that on seeing the final cut, Disney gave Rian Johnson his very own unrelated SW trilogy with total control?
