I don't care about the gender, ethnicity or orientation of the characters. I haven't seen #9 yet because #7 and #8 were just sort of poor in a wide range of ways.
#1-6: Vader, or Anakin who we know becomes Vader, one of the most entertaining villains in movie history. He has a cool voice. He has more great lines than can count "the Emperor is not as.. forgiving as I am". (#1-3 don' have vader as such, but you see his creation). also has the Emperor who is deliciously evil #7-8? Darth emo? A whiny brat? Snoke - who appears (as of end of 8) to just be a miscellaneous bad guy.
The Empire was understandable - a corruption of the vast and powerful republic. The Order?? What are they? The evil empire was defeated. How did its remnants manage to build vast fleets of ships and a planet killer far more powerful than the death star. The whole point of the first 6 was that Darth Sidius (Emperor) had to perform this large set of manipulations to corrupt the powerful Republic and gain control.
Plot. argh? A side trip to a casino planet during a desperate space chase? An obvious use of hyperdrive as weapon that has never been tried before?
Special effects -good, but not the state-of-the art effects if the earlier movies. Nothing really visually interesting.
I don't think the poor turnout is due to "woke"characters. Its just that the previous movies were not very good.
Previous two were... mediocre (Score:3)
