It was a different Star Wars movie, but it at least felt plausible and had a "Star Wars Feel" to it. With TFA...I got good and bad vibes from it. As a story, it wasn't bad. I loved the initial "trailer" premiss...a chick who is an orphan survives by scavenging from crashed empire and rebelion ships. Then again, I am one of those DM's who REALLY gets into the whole "what about the aftermath?" and "what about the non-heroes, like the cab driver who's cab is ruined, or the janitor who sees his workplace get utterly anihilated...how does this 'Rebellion' impact them?". So I was hopeful that Rey would be just a more or less normal orphan trying to survive and she gets caught up in something far bigger than she ever thought possible.Alas, we in stead got a more or less completely special uber-talented beyond reality orphan trying to survive on her own, who goes from scavenging ship parts to being able to naturally use the Force and defeats an experienced dark-side jedi knight simply by picking up a lightsaber and swinging it. O_O Yeah, TFA had so much potential! To be honest though, I thought that Finn was honestly the most interesting character. I mean, c'mon! Just a lonely canon-fodder Stormtrooper who finely can't deal with the harsh realities of his job, deserts his platoon, ditches his past, and betray's the only "family" he's ever known? Remember that whole "little people" thing I mentioned above? Yeah, Finn fits right into that. Too bad he wasn't the main focus of the series. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />At least we got to see more about the Knights of Ren... Wait... No, we didn't. But that was another one of the most interesting tid-bits everyone wanted to know more about!  We had to wait until TLJ to find out more about... huh..?  No? We didn't? What's that you say? "This is not the Interesting Story Line you are looking for..." ..."This is not the Interesting Story Line I am looking for"... "Carry on..."  ..."Ok. Carry on.

Don't like.
