Rx_79:
Naw read it just didn't comment on it, It did stop Einhander form posting more stupid res-ponces so that's a plus.
marioxb:
I absolutely 100% loved the two new hero characters. I can't imagine the movie any other way.

I honestly felt it rather refreshing, especially after the abysmal 1-3 trilogy. Just a mass of monotone white guys running around the whole time.

Color or gender does not matter.
The (female) lead of the movie was OK.
As would be black lead or sidekick, but in this case the black actor felt shoehorned in pointless crap.
He was just there and did really nothing.
If he would have been white he would have been nothing, but as he was kinda advertised as the first black Stormtrooper and lead (maybe as a red herring), and then actually did not anything meaningful, he kinda felt like "Hi, I'm black, deal with it" and thus even less anything.
Hope that made any sense.

Remember that this is a trilogy. His role will grow with 8 & 9. I mean, look a Phasma. She was on screen for about a minute or two. He's pretty clearly the new Hahn Solo IMO.

Yes and this is partly the problem (if not whole problem):
They should have made one movie instead of trilogy as if you take out all the pointless crap it leaves just perfect amount for one complete movie, instead of this idiotic lazy money whoring expansion to a trilogy.

Interesting theory...
BTW Phasma (the shiny Stormtrooper) is a woman.
wiggy:
Yes, hence why I said "She".
"He" was referring back to Finn.
