I cant remember a single thing Finn did in Rise of Skywalker besides become friends with a black woman who I guess was supposed to get a spin-off since she was Landos daughter or something.

He isn't wrong, TLJ ruined like 70% of the sequel trilogy's characters (and Luke)

Gave all the "nuance" to Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley? WHAT nuance?? He read the script, right? The story was fucking garbage. There was no "nuance" to the story or any of the characters.

Is it really any surprise that TLJ focused on the story's main character and underdeveloped main villain?

The Last Jedi was the most interesting Luke had ever been. The Poe and Finn/Rose plot lines were various degrees of silly/pointless/bad, but everything involving Rey, Luke, and Kylo in TLJ was awesome.

You mean he just confirmed what everyone already knew, that the ST was a SJW fest. That is, only concerned with surface level and checkmarking "racial diversity" and not actually interested in making meaningful racially diverse characters a significant part of the story.

Luke could have been interesting in a good way except we got some old hermit that gave up on life and everything he believed in to drink blue milk straight from the titty.

Why?

She very nearly doomed the resistance, and directly resulted in the death of Luke Skywalker .

Also, her sisters hot. Nothing wrong with being whatever Rose is, but being hot is definitely bonus points.

They really were building him up as a main character with Rey in TFA and its ad campaign it seemed. Of course they threw it all out the window with not even making the most basic of plans for a trilogy.

Last Jedi was the best of the Sequels, but that's not saying much.

JJ did Boyega dirty well before anyone claimed the trilogy was ruined.

I still don't get what the issue is. Finn had more screen time than every other black character in Star Wars combined. He had just as much relevance to the plot of the ST as Han did for the OT. You can make a case that the overall story was wack, but Finn was undeniably the 2nd main character of the ST. This just feels like people still pissed that Finn didn't turn out to be a Jedi.

I was stoked about it.

Now that I think about it, I'd be pretty upset too if the whole purpose of my character was to be a red herring for someone else to be the lead of the saga. I liked Rey, but they literally pulled a "Sike Nah!" at the end of The Force Awakens to say that Rey was the real main character.

it wouldn't be as bad if rey turned out to be a good character but she dropped finn's protagonist baton pass
