| Lucas-Rio said: Padme was awful, I will agree with that. But Finn is non existant and Rey is a bad mix of Luke, Leia, and Solo. Not a good hero. The only good character the new serie has introduced is BB-8 and it's telling. Even Darth Maul crushes Kylo Ren in charisma despite not speaking. The prequel had amazing moments despite having to follow an already written story. In special effects the prequels crush TFA despite being 10-15 years older.... Yoda/Emperor and Obiwan/Anakin were breathtaking. The main good things of TFA is the thing they straight copied from the first Star Wars. What they added is bad. Solo saved the first movie in the acting. He won't be there to save the second. If if get more crybaby love between Rey and Finn.... |
You could have replaced Natalie Portman with a cardboard cut out in the prequels and it wouldn't have made no difference. She wasn't bad. Padme was A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE character. George Lucas had no idea what he was doing with that character whatsoever.
I'm not even joking when I say literally Megan Fox's character was better in the Transformers movies.
Finn's the "regular joe" character, him being nervous or not superpowered doesn't make him a "bad character" ... his character is written that way on purpose to serve a need.
This is called STORY ... TELLING. See this type of character allows "JOE PUBLIC who doesn't give a fuck about spaceships and lightsabers" to also be engaged in the movie because there's a normal person in the movie that they can relate to.
Unlike having a movie filled with Jedi who have the personality of a rock and aren't relatable to any human being.
The prequels were cartoons. And not even well done cartoon as the cartoon Clone Wars series outdoes it in every way.
TFA returns Star Wars to its HUMAN, live action roots. Star Wars was always more of a Western with very human characters not CGI buffonary, Lucas completely forgot about this.
To be honest I wonder if Lucas just fluked out with A New Hope, because Empire and Jedi were colloborations with other writers/directors that likely kept a lot of Lucas awful ideas at bay. Look at the new Indiana Jones too ... it SUCKED, because Lucas insisted on a script that was garbage and that Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg didn't even like. They just agreed on it because Harrison Ford would've been freaking dead by the time they could roll on another Indiana Jones movie if they didn't all agree.
