I’m not saying that R1 has massive amounts of character depth and development but there is definitely plenty enough there for the type of movie it is and doesn’t line up at all with some people’s assertion that it’s not primarily character driven which for some reason means it’s a bad movie and that all the characters are 2d paper thin plot devices.I’m pretty sure nobody said that.
No, that’s pretty much what you allude to and what I understand is your disposition towards R1 from what you’ve said 😉
Edit: OK, so the below is what stick in my mind about your thoughts on R1 but on going back to it I read your other posts where you give the movie praise in other areas and are mostly just disappointed that it’s not more character driven:
I can credit ROTS for at least attempting to tell a character-driven story. I can’t say the same about R1.
That’s fine but I think your extremely simplified and rather incomparable comparison of the parent loss was pretty on the nose in terms of trying to back up your argument on Jyn’s character. You could say it “triggered” me somewhat and caused me to respond a bit harsher than I normally would to your next post 😉 (sorry about that).
