Considering how much TFA was praised, it’s predictable.
Yeah I just saw it and I’d agree with that. The audience seemed to just love K-2SO. Plus, K-2SO did sacrifice himself for the mission, so I guess that’s a good point.
But beyond that? It seems that since they knew this film was not going anywhere except directly to ANH so they didn’t bother with any character development. I take back everything bad I ever said about Hayden Christensen, Felicity Jones is now the worst lead-actor in a Star Wars film. She’s not even an actual rebel - why not give us the Kyle Reese of the rebellion instead of some outsider that has a sudden epiphany? Come to think of it, it would have helped if Diego Luna was a lot more like Michael Biehn in Terminator.
