When your planet stops being the capital of the galaxy after 10,000+ years, then the new capital gets loving exploded

They should have destroyed Coruscant and Jakku in the first one. The latter woulda made Rey's identity conflict much deeper / dire.

It would have made the galaxy reverting to the space middle ages make more sense for sure. As is you have no choice but to conclude that the new republic pursued a radical galactic deindustrialization/depopulation agenda

It's literally always been the space middle ages though... Edit: that's kinda how colonization would work, even with FTL magic travel.

Other than the jedi (who are portrayed as more or less deluded and out of sync with the times), I'd say pretty much nothing about the setting in the prequels is particularly middle ages. There's a city planet with trillions of people, recognizably modern means of industry, economics, communication, politics, entertainment, warfare, etc. You can't even say disney threw out that aspect consistently because Solo has a colossally industrialized city planet too.

The politics seems to be a weird mix of democracy and aristocracy, the details of how that works never being explained.

It's amazing how much of Finn's character was squandered. He could have been a badass stormtrooper commando that switched sides but instead they made him into a janitor. TFA and TLJ even progressively make him dumber and dumber until his character is a total joke. It also feels kind of racist to me that a major POC character has to be a janitor. Make him a badass trooper with PTSD type character ffs.

Brother Entropy posted:i can kinda see what's being getting at here. one of the pretty consistent throughlines of TLJ is intergenerational conflict among people who are supposed to be allies. luke and rey, luke and ben, snoke and ben, holdo and poe, all these relationships have someone keeping critical information from the other and things go badly as a result of it. rey and ben in particular constantly have it reiterated to them that the other one is the enemy and must be destroyed but once they're given the opportunity to just like, talk to each other without being able to ruin it by resorting to violence they end up having a connection and find ways to relate to each other. it all feels very UC gundam, just with force skype substituting for newtype connections  Quick! We need to get the hardcore fans back aboard, let's massacre KOTOR for them! celewign posted:It's amazing how much of Finn's character was squandered.

TFA worked well enough with Finns storm trooper history, but TLJ really should've focused on his reasons for quitting. But instead just...did TFA storyline again and really went with the janitor angle.

They half-assed the idea by going with "uhh, he wasn't in a position to hurt people", removing any bite to the concept of a reformed stormtrooper.

There ae so many directions Finn could have gone after TFA. Maybe he points out the other stormtroopers are indoctrinated children like he was and are victims of the FO that need saving like everyone else. So he becomes hesitant to shoot them or tries to start fomenting revolt among them. Or conversely maybe seeing that theres more to life than being the Space-Unsullied and the norma life he was denied has made him super violent and bitter. Like he's going around shooting first asking questions later and the heroes have to pull him from the brink before he does something truly heinous. But no lets have him remain unchanged from scene one.

The worst part about Finn is that there are just enough good scenes with him that you can see how he could have been a great character. Everything from the Jakku attack up until Poe's death* is largely good, as is his confrontation with Kylo at the end. It's just everything in the middle that's bad.

He was primarily used for comic relief and Han Solo being Han Solo. edit: which is fine because Boyega is a pretty good actor for that. Attack the Block comes to mind.

I'm convinced the janitor thing is some last minute poo poo they wrote in for the trash compactor joke to work and not actually part of his (whatever minimal) character outline. Otherwise you'd expect some sort of story about how this janitor rose to the position of serving in ultra badass (for some reason that is never shown) Cpt Phasmas unit and directly under Kylo Ren. But nope we just get elite commado who goes full PTSD at the first sign of combat death.

My first reaction was to hate this. However, if they go the SWTOR cutscene route then it could be fun to watch at least. I mean, they did sucker me into playing an incredibly mediocre MMO.

If you were to turn Kotor 1 into a movie, you'd have to excise the "collect four keys to open the final dungeon" part of the plot.

I hope they don't just do KOTOR the game. We already had a movie where a protagonist with a mysterious past becomes a Jedi while dealing with a plot involving a map to an ancient place that a legendary Jedi had visited in the past, and that was too derivative the first time around.
