I wont disagree, I like Boyega (Attack the Block!!). A lot of the characters had potential and there were a lot of things teased that never went anywhere.
Like...were Finn and Rey supposed to get together? Why introduce Rose at all? Speaking of why introduce people at all....no, sorry that list is too long.
You could go on and on. I just think overall from watching that Trilogy that they didnt plan to sidetrack racially diverse characters....they couldnt have...because they didnt have a plan.
One of their biggest issues was having too many characters and no clear idea as to what all these people were supposed to be doing.
Anyways, I'm half-joking because the whole thing seems like such a thrown-together mess that I have a hard time assigning blame for any one thing here or there.
Did they ruin Finn who was an interesting character? Absolutely. But they did that to everybody which contravenes his assertion that they 'had a plan' for Ridley and Driver.
Nobody had a plan for anything. He could be the victim of sheer incompetence as easily as bigotry.
I've mentioned this before, but nobody really cared about any of these characters. Ever.
