I did care about Obi-Wan, and I certainly cared about Palpatine because he was an amazing character.


In the PT, in TFA, yeah I cared about Luke and Leia from a nostalgia standpoint. Certainly Han and Chewie as well. But the new characters I wasn't as engaged with. Then in TLJ Rian did these monumental shifts on the characters. Luke not only jaded but a complete Jerk for no reason. Leia became pretty cardboard like, Chewie was really there for one gag, of eating a Porg. The new characters were re-written. Finn became annoying. Poe was ruined from the first scene with the prank phone call. And though I really like Ridley and I think she tried really hard, there was just no emotional connection.


We can say all we want about the OT and its poor and stilted dialogue in ANH and ROTJ, but the characters got passed that.

You only cared about 'Original Characters' because you were previously invested in them and wanted to know more.

All the new characters have been completely bland garbage.

But they didnt have to be.
