If nothing else, the “riding the CGI animals” stuff was prequel-level awful.

Don’t be that guy, Frink.

He’s right though. I went to the bathroom at that point.

I agree. I pretty much lost all hope at that point. TFA and R1 were much better in that regard. I never really got any awful Prequel flashbacks watching them.

I did with the large CGI animals butt-crack in TFA.

I don’t remember that part—I’ll have to watch it again. I’m not saying that there weren’t parts of TFA that I disliked (I HATED that stupid octopus-type creature that kept grabbing Finn), but I guess as a whole it was good enough for me to overlook a lot of stuff.

Could somebody explain to me why I’m supposed to give a sh*t about Captain Phasma?

Seriously, a lot of people seem to find this character and her ‘story’ interesting. What’s the deal?

The same reason why we were supposed to give a sh*t about Darth Maul: zilch. All flash, no substance.

An interesting contrast is the Boba Fett character. He wasn’t forced on the audience, he was just a POS bounty hunter who served a purpose with minimal screen time. But for whatever reasons, some people (not me) gravitated towards him and built up his mystique, I guess in large part due to his lack of screen time. Less is more sometimes.
