Also, Finn and Poe can kiss on Crait!
I like that, though I’m not sure I buy the rest. Why is the guy who isn’t devoted to the cause telling the one who is how bad the war is? What is Poe learning exactly, and how is Finn learning his lesson? It’s a lot cleaner if Finn gets the “why we fight” story, and Poe’s story is focused on heroism vs. recklessness.
At least that’s how I feel and how Johnson felt. Maybe there was a different way to do it that’d work equally well, I don’t know. For me I don’t really have any problem with Canto Bight so I don’t really see why it should’ve been done differently. Different strokes I guess.
It seems very odd, that Rose the mechanic is teaching Finn the former soldier, who was pretty much enslaved as a child about the horrors of war, and slavery. This is the issue with many of the character arcs in TLJ, where RJ just uses them as tools to send whatever message he wants to the audience, whether it is consistent with their previously established character, and character history or not. It’s fine that Poe needs to learn about what it means to be a leader, but at the same time Poe is so over the top irresponsible, and hot headed, that it doesn’t really seem very consistent with the good natured, respected pilot and commander that was presented to us in TFA.
