implying TPM didn't run the franchise a decade ago.
I'm at least willing to give Abrams a chance. He can't save it at his point but if he can entertain me for 2~3 hours I'll call it a win.

I wanted to like Rey, I really did. I'm 100% for a badass tomboy Luke. I guess she is cute. Just such a shit character that I can't handle it though, I fucking wish she got shishkebab'd instead. Mary Sue to end all sues (and fuck all the mental gymnastics that have happened around that term since TFA came out, I could rant for hours about how everybody fucking else gets to cry cultural appropriation but when I want to use a word that's been in my culture for god damned decades and which wasn't gendered until the fucking PC police crusaded into someone else's home and presume to tell us what our own nigger cunting terms mean it's somehow misogyny. Jesus christ, the hypocrisy of the "safe space" rhetoric in light of the systematic denial of expression to certain minorities if they happen to be white and male, fuck, I could hit a bitch).
With two shitty token leads and Poe "worst excuse for a Han substitute ever" Dameron there are exactly two ways Abrams can regain my respect. One is Kylo Ren, TFA's singular likable new character, murders fucking everyone or two, Rey goes darkside and lesbian-side (neither alone would be sufficient at this point) and then mercs everyone. Maybe I'm not so mad at Abrams though, he's usually a lot edgier than this which like, edgy isn't good but it's fucking better than what we got, so I could chalk it up to Disney castrating a nigga but heads gotta roll for this atrocity. I don't think I'm even capable of coming up with a more pussyfooted excuse for a sequel than this. At least the prequels had a villain protagonist.
