It’s funny, the more you think about it. The First Order General was offed as a joke and their Supreme Leader hallucinated himself into switching sides, then the rest of the organization died off screen.
A story for the ages.Pretty much all characters except Rey were reduced to jokes by the end.
Pretty sad waste of potential.
Yeah, but most of that happened in TRoS, which only seemed to care about two characters. Hux was turned into a punching bag in TLJ. I actually think most of his abuse is warranted, and in keeping with the trilogy’s comedic tone, but the yo mama joke is too much.
There’s a line between comedic and just plain comical; the First Order wasn’t intimidating at all once they started just being the incompetent butt of jokes. Snoke too, hurling Rey around telekinetically then bleah I’m dead.
It was a problem with the prequels where the tone was uneven throughout all 3 movies, i.e. Nemoidians ended up just being boring and forgotten as villains. Did anyone even remember them by the time Anakin sliced them up? At least Lucas realized his humour didn’t fit with Sith and you can see this with the deleted scenes. I mean Anakin chirping like R2 would’ve been the “yo mama” joke of Sith.
