It could have been an incredible story, especially in the opening scene with his brother dying and his reality changing.


Then he became the not so good version of C-3PO, and when he wasn't the comic relief his main role was to yell wooh a lot.



You could argue that for the most part, the main characters, Poe, Finn, and even Rae could have had these great back stories, and been really interesting characters, but because of the massive disconnect of the Last Jedi, the third movie just made them cardboard.


Even on the villains side, Hux was really good in the first movie. A fairly competent and completely punchable arrogant officer for the Space Nazi's. In the second movie he was a pratfall a minute gag fest, and in the third movie he was a spy oh wait he got the red shirt death.


The Force Awakens was flawed but introduced some really interesting possibilities. The Last Jedi threw that out the window and the third movie ripped off the Dark Empire series and yelled "Palpatine, get yer Palpatine" and then made him on moron with a bad death.
