Rey has not turned into a hero character like Skywalker, Leia, and Solo.
Of course she hasn't. What struggle did she overcome? I mean, right out of the gate she is a Mary Sue and kicking ass in everything she does. Literally does everything Luke learned to do over 3 movies in one, which no explanation on how she was able to know she could do anything. Then 48 hours later she is lifting rocks like they are nothing.
And the others are really forgettable too. Poe is such a cliche. I think he's added to the movie to make masculinity look stupid. "Best pilot in the galaxy" oh sure. As an actor this has to be his worst role.
Last night The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi was on TV back to back and I ran them to see if anything changed my mind and the things that annoyed me just got worse. Even still, if peeps didn't like the things in the Last Jedi, like Rey's parents and so on, better to dig your heels in than to thrown in some BS fan service to appease the simpletons. I know some peeps wanted Rey to be something right out of the gate, but it made better sense that she was a nothing. Except could do all this stuff.
Its almost like they were making Rey like "Look Rey can do all this stuff as a girl and do it better than Luke!" and its so cheesy. God I swear to never look at a screen with close ups of Daisy Ridley's face while she's pretending to be constipated again. I am over it.
But you take away a lack of real struggle, and also note that deaths are no longer permanent in the Star Wars universe, then what is there really to follow except for the special effects?
Did you guys see JJ's Star Trek? It actually suffers from poor writing too. it was a pretty good reboot, especially with the choice of actors, but it too suffers from dumb story choices and makes up for it with leaps in technological advances to fix a dumb story - as in, transporting to a ship going warp speed. The average numb nut isn't going to care about this, but this breaks the legitimacy in the story for me and once that is done...
And the sequel reboot bringing in Khan goes to show that JJ really has very little to offer than vomiting out other people's ideas. I had to laugh when Spock screamed 'KKhhhhaaaaannnnn'.
But JJ did much of the same thing with A Force Awakens. Just tries to overdo A New Hope. If I made a movie about a car that could drive 500 mph, and JJ was doing the reboot, he would have the same car but doing 1000 mph.
The interesting thing is, these movies would probably have been better received if they had left the original cast out, because they do a poor job with them. Its hard for me to believe these idiots are really fans of the originals to have produced this garbage. They should have gone with real fans of the originals, like the peeps doing The Mandalorian, who understand the look and feel of what people associate Star Wars to be.
The newer trilogy is just liberal PC garbage with lasers and lightsabers.
