To be fair JJ will never have more power against KK. He brought in 2 Billion which is all the hireups care about and KK cannot afford to fire yet another director. So we shall see how he wants to use his power.
However, I have no doubt KK loves Reylo because she loves Adam Driver for some reason and her white British brunette self inserts. In contrast, and I am not joking I cant not honestly remember KK say one positive thing about Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Issacs) or Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran).
As for the other stuff, I havent read Finn and Rose getting together. I have read stuff that Finn once again got saddled with comic relief, the arc wasnt that great and that John Boyega once again had to elevate shitty material.
I have a feeling JJ is just gonna undo stuff anyway. Rose allegedly according to New spoilers ends up Finn’s girlfriend at the end and Rey apparently is conflicted about Kylo. I can’t see JJ continuing those threads. I also think Rey will turn out not to be so random.
Maybe. We’ll see. I doubt that they’re as divided as all that, especially since Kathleen Kennedy has final say on everything and loves Rian’s work so much she’s giving him the keys to the castle, so to speak. But I don’t intend to spend the next two years theorizing about what JJ/KK are gonna do. (Of course I didn’t intend to get so wrapped up in TLJ speculation either and we can all see how that turned out. I should delete my entire backlog and drink to forget).
I second this just tough it out people. I already saw a Spanish version linked online so if you can understand Spanish you can watch that everyone else can just wait a few days and torrent it.
ill say if ur like me and havent watched the movie and are on the fence about watching it even tho ur thinking “ya i hate it but i miss finn and poe”… i get you, i understand you, but please try and not watch it. you know at the end of the day what hurts disney is their bottom line (and their reputation but less so). at the very least tell ur friends and family who are casual (or not at all) fans of star wars to not see the movie. dont buy their merch. dont support them at all. we want them to know that no one liked this film. no one was interested in watching this racist bs and the only language they speak is $$$ so hit them where it hurts.
Honestly besides Driver who I don't like as person much or as a character in Kylo. I am increasingly finding myself liking the cast but absolutely hating the character choices from the writing for most of them.
I don’t hate Rose Tico. I hate that she’s written as this scolding, impulsive woman who just goes around stunning people with an electro-prod just because they don’t want to fight in a war. Rose is more than that.
The Good Place + Planetary Symbolism
Indeed Spoilers would be nice. Cannot wait to read. I am especially interested in what the team looks like.
Wow this is useful I use to use the Trader Joe stuff when I was younger.
And two popular brands that promised SPF 50 were actually only SPF 8.

As a Finn Fan I cant think of one thing on a list that he got that a Finn fan would want. 1) Force Sensitive? No, Random White Broom Boi gets it. Anyone can have the force isn't it so hopeful. Yeah anyone who is white. 2) Less Comedic Relief? Fuck That Endless Comic Relief 3) Actual Character Development? Hell No lets reset him and repeat. 4) An Arc? Nope nothing he does matters and Rose is Rey but worse now she gives life lessons and she is not the lead. So he is in the B-Plot Now. 5) Can he hang out with Poe? Nope we are killing FinnPoe while Finn and Poe barely interact 6) FinnRey? Not only will they be separated the whole movie while she gets wet over Kylo, they get no fucking lines when they meet each other again 7) Well he was pretty good with a blaster some of that? Nope, he will never use a blaster at all in this movie. So much for commando or hawkeye. 8) A satisfying conclusion to the Phasma fight? Nope no emotional heft between them and he wins due to luck. Books Dont matter 9) Interaction with the Luke or Leia? Hahahaha Hell No. 10) Well shit if you are not going to do anything with him how about a Heroic Death? Hell No, also let me kneecap FinnRey. Also come on Rose sometimes you gotta save the ones you love by killing the people actively trying to kill you. I am sure I could do another 10 but that summarizes Finn pretty well. Not that I wanted a Heroic Death or anything.
Well you see that be in character and this movie was all about making Luke look bad so Kylo could look good. But that begs question what was the explanation for how Luke couldn't sense Han Dying or an entire Solar System disappearing while hiding in a Force Nexus?
To be honest, the minute Luke learned that Kylo Ren killed Han Solo, he should have geared up and trained Rey and gotten to the Resistance pronto. The minute.
JJ is the lesser of two evils that is all it is. Although I should note the coma was RJ request so that is not on JJ but of course JJ had plenty of issues all his own doing. However, at least JJ wasn't an apologist for Kylo. But yeah the only POC with any power seems to be Pablo Hidalgo incidentally he was also unlike KK and RJ not making every excuse under the sun for Kylo. Make of it what you will.
I don't understand why some fans think JJ Abrams will save Finn's arc when this man also made Finn be attacked during the entire movie, be a red herring and end the movie in a coma. The entire lucasfilm is guilty in this, they need more black artists to work in their movies or black characters will always be treat like this
the lesser of two evils. while JJ had many many flaws, he also gave us a great character in Finn and all those FS clues etc etc. rian doesnt even have one redeeming quality going for him. so when its rian vs. jj - of course everyone wants jj back. but ur point still stands. there needs to be more black people behind the camera.
Lol. The Hermoine One at least you can make the case its calling out sexism. The rest fuck them all.
No.
Stop.
