Finn could have been such an amazing character. Look at him in TFA, he was a former stormtrooper, in the other movies we never saw under the helmet, They were blindly obedient killers with bad eye sight.
They could have had a side story of actual PTSD, a guy fighting his instincts of killing everything. Instead in the second story he because the whoo guy, he had a love story that wasn't a love story, and by the third movie he was a background character, and his love interest dumped him to do homework.
I mean the most ridiculous thing is in the third movie with the Jet Troopers, and his yelling They can fly now. Just so dumb. There's a reason why JB literally refuses to talk about Star Wars for a long time.
Rey could have been such an amazing character, but the writers with no constraint just over powered her. And then there was the parent story. They did the cave thing to hint at something, then her parents were nobodies, then they were still nobodies, then Palpatine was her doting grandfather. But she just became incredibly powerful until they kicked her legs out from under her in the third movie. They did such a great job of foreshadowing for her in the first movie. I mean they literally had her fighting Kylo and she used a combination of Anakin's and Palpatines sabre style. And when she had that moment where she looked completely brutal and on the verge of falling to the darkside, they did nothing with it.
Kylo Ren was a waste of a great acting performance end of story.
And they bought back Palpatine, and completely wrecked some really great Sith Lore, and made him a blundering demented over powered dork.
The stupidity of making a trilogy where it feels like Disney had no script control and Rian took the first movies story and said, nah we're not going to do that, and he literally made the third movie impossible was insane.
