General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

Finn is, to borrow a term from D20 Modern, the Charismatic Hero. Especially in TFA, but in TLJ also, his ability to get people to go along with his plan despite having absolutely no idea what he's actually doing and occasionally outright lying is his skill set.

He actually beat Phasma in one-on-one combat. He's more inconsistent than incompetent.

That was just sticking to tradition. The Bobba Fett of the ST was never going out like a boss.

Plasma bever did anything cool on screen though. It's not like she beat anything relevant so defeating her is no big deal.

Yeah, she's just a cool-looking larger than average chrome Stormtrooper with lines.

What did Boba Fett do on screen that was cool?

Personally, I think Finn is a bad character in TFA because he is bad at everything. He can't use the Force, he can't fly a ship, he is even poor at ground combat despite stormtrooper training. He probably didn't even do a good job of cleaning the latrines on the Starkiller base. He is like Jar Jar Binks, apart from being occasionally funny.

I found the whole thing of him not being great at everything to make him more interesting. What intrigued me was the idea of a storm trooper who didn't want to be one, and who seemed to have some guilt about it.

In terms of storm trooper training, star wars is just highly inconsistent. We are told they were precise shots by Obi Wan in A New Hope, only to see them miss everything. I think storm troopers are as competent as the plot needs them to be

He invented that tea.

Nothing until works made after the original trilogy. It's all aesthetics and personal preference on both sides.

The only thing cool about Fett was his armor. I think that is literally the only reason people liked him (and that he was a bounty hunter)
