When i saw Finn wield a light saber I wanted to see a Storm Trooper who wasn't noticed as force sensitive to become a Jedi that would be so cool and Rey could be an equal to Finn but instead John Boyega was forced to be a side character to Rey and then Disney saw the love from the fans towards John Boyega that they wanted to say Finn feels the force in the final movie they should've introduced that Finn was force sensitive near the end of the first movie

Three things i wished this trilogy did. 1. Proving Finn is force sensitive from the very beginning. Force Awakens there really was hints that Finn was force sensitive, even giving him mini battles with the lightsaber. 2. Anakin's force ghost appearing to Kylo Ren when Kylo makes a final decision turning back to the light. 3. Rise of Skywalker, maybe should have been Ben rising from the darkness, hence the name of the movie, and lives on despite all the bad stuff he done. He already rose from the darkness but i didn't like the idea of him dying off. But Leia waiting for Ben to disappear so she can go with him, i COMPLETELY didn't notice that when i watched it in theaters. Having Rey and Kylo flip light and dark in the end, Finn becomes a new jedi in training while Rey either deals with turning back to the light or dies embracing the evil within and Kylo moves on to be a hermit or a fighter in the shadows. Something like that, it doesn't have to be exactly like that. But overall there was still a lot of good things against the bad of the movies. These guys seriously knows how to find the good within the bad and point out it in a balanced way.

2:30:15 To be fair. The writing for leia’s death was more so because carrie fisher died during the post production of the film.

They all had plans, the main story beats were there. That's why there's a script that gets re-worked a dozen times in almost any movie, let alone series. The problem, was that they hired on JJ who wanted his main story beat to be that Kylo, unlike Anakin, would only be on a linear path into the Dark side. He would start out at his most good (already still evil, but cobflicted) and progress into being more evil from there. But then Rian came along, said "F-that! Let's make him and Rey lovers, and set up that he'll eventually be Anakin 2.0 and reverse course. And while we're at it, kill off everyone we can". But then oops, Carrie died during filming and it would be in bad taste to kill her now, so we'll CGI her in post, put her in the next one, and kill her off then so it isn't too soon. Then JJ had to come back and tape and glue the whole mess together again, with Disney embracing Rians vision more and forcing him to finish it off that way, instead of how he wanted and set up. Long story short, Disney screwed the pooch because that's all they know how to do. I love the characters from the sequels (mostly) but the writing, director(s), and Disney as a whole: failed.

This is my personal opinion, these are my main issues with the sequels Episode 7: (My favorite of the 3) Similar plot arc of episode 4 but just with a bigger death star and Rey just had great force skill out of nowhere where Luke had a 3 movie training arc to get where he was. Also where did they get Anakin's/Luke's lightsaber if it dropped into the middle of the planet in episode 5? Episode 8: I'm frustrated by Luke's off screen character development. It doesnt make his character relatable or as impactful since we saw straight to the end result instead of how he got to be a hermit. Also forcing some scenes like the kiss i agree with you guys on. Episode 9: Dont reveal Palpatine was back in the intro credits! It should have been an audience discovery along with Kylo's character finding him. Also i think a more fitting ending would have been Rey dying, completing her destiny and Kylo being alive to have a redemption journey, learning about his family history more like how Darth Vader turned to the good side in the end, hence making the title fit better. The Rise of Skywalker. Also side note, the whole of the sequels felt like the OG Trilogy but out of order with some story beats. Ex: Han felt like Obi-Wan from episode 4, Luke felt like Yoda from episode 6 and Kylo having similar story beats to Darth Vader.

The thing that pisses me off the most in sequals is the strategies. Nether side makes good choices during battles. That's why I've always described the First Order as a "Toddler with a mini gun". They got the tools, just not the brain power. Though, I will admit, I still had fun watching the sequals

[@iminumst7827]

Yeah, it was goofy af when at the start of TLJ the rebels are fleeing and instead of firing at the escape fleet they fire at the stationary base that probably had intel and gear left behind. Like the base isn't going anywhere! Then they do that silly thing of using that really slow bomber ships which for some reason can only drop bombs downwards despite the lack of gravity in space. Also it was wild when Admiral Holdo didn't tell her Commander what the plan of escape was, resulting in a mutiny. Another completely bogus choice in terms of military strategy. In the originals even if the Stormies had garbage aim, they at least had logical procedures.

[@JackStudios725]

@iminumst7827 EXACTLY! Also, at the TLJ, the stardestroyers should have been in front of the dreadnought, not behind.

[@Overload456]

Dear Sorta Stupid, A little insight on the question you asked about blasters. Yes, they have to reload, they use gas canisters and depending on which gas they use, produces a different color bolt. Red is cheap gas thats easy to manufacture, although it is weaker. Blue bolts are made from Ionized Gas, which works effectively against droids. Green bolts are made from rare gas, and are very powerful. There are a few other colors but not much is known about them. Hope this helped😁

Just because they use "Starkiller Base" rather than "Mega Maid" to suck the life out of a sun, doesn't mean that Spaceballs didn't do it first.

[@Citrishark]

One little problem I have with some of the new Disney stuff is it breaks some of the Star Wars science/logic. Specifically jumping to light speed from inside a gravity well. This is why interdictor star destroyers are a thing. They create artificial gravity wells to rip ships out of light speed and prevents them from jumping. You might think this is a Legends only thing and not part of Disney canon; however, they appear in the Rebels TV show and work exactly the same way. This means that the light speed skipping shouldn't work since he was jumping from inside gravity wells during it. Rogue One has this problem too, but I still love that movie.

[@andreasfasl6403]

The biggest issue was not that those films were horrible on itself but more that they just don't work together. 8 completely resets Finns character and Roses character feels forced. I think Ryan had good ideas but completely disregarded JJ's ideas. Either way a bad coordinated trilogy doesn't justify the hate the actors and especially the actresses got.

Finn wouldn't have stopped that cannon, it melted iron several meters away. He would have died stopping nothing, other than his life. Rose kissing Finn makes since because she went from a fangirl using Finn as emotional surrogate for her dead sister, she is the reason that he had an arc to become the hero that she was told he was, and she probably thought that that was her last moment alive.

@@colinvandenberg3446 it’s really disappointing how the sequels handled those characters especially if you read the EU. In the EU, Han never went back to his smuggler ways, had an impeccable military career, later became an ambassador for the new republic, Leia became a Jedi knight, came to terms with her heritage, even became the chancellor of the new republic for a time, she and Han stayed married and had three kids that would all become Jedi knights. And Luke… where to begin? He successfully reformed the Jedi Order despite numerous trials and errors he never gave up, he even changed many things about the order like allowing attachments and lives outside the order, having his students train at their own pace to connect with their own force which enabled them to be more powerful than the Jedi of old, Luke got married and had a son, even essentially achieved the power potential of the chosen one!
