Do you agree with my previous post about Finn’s portrayal as something out of a minstrel show, and that Rey is >essentially on God mode?

Yes, I do. It amazes me that the black main character in the most recent Star Wars trilogy–a trilogy that was marketed as being inclusive–is so disrespectfully written compared to Lando and Mace Windu. John Boyega deserved so much better than that.

I agree on what you said about Rey, as well. I generally try to avoid talking about the issues with Rey’s power level and development, because some people take those criticisms the wrong way. But yes, it’s a significant problem.

I do consider TLJ the least bad of the ST. It’s the only one of the three that tries to rise above being just standard Hollywood schlock, and I appreciate that. TFA is my least favorite Star Wars film, and I’ve discovered that’s partly because I really can’t stand JJ Abrams’ frantic directing style.
