    What are you on about? The Force Awakens is just a poor remix of A new hope, but with bad characters and an stilted script. It’s the most boring of the new trilogy.

      I thought the characters definitely had potential, but it felt like it tried to copy ANH almost shot-for-shot. It seemed like every plot beat had an ANH equivalent.

        Yeah for real, the characters were extremely interesting in TFA. Poe and the storm trooper(Boyega) had really cool chemistry. Rey was probably a bit more interesting at that point than later, Kylo I remember liking a lot too because of his conflict with the dark side that we’ve not really seen before. Palpatine was interesting as well because he didn’t exist, yet.

          Phasma seemed pretty badass too, at least until the subsequent movies did absolutely nothing interesting with her. She’s basically the sequels’ equivalent of Darth Maul in that regard.

            Basically. They had the opportunity to make an interesting bad character, and even though they didn’t kill them off quickly like with Maul, they said made the character boring.
