What're you talking about? Literally nothing Rose and Finn did had any effect on anything. You could delete them both from the movie and nothing would change.
That whole fucking casino planet arc was just stupid and didn't belong in this movie at all.
Yeah in a movie about subverting expectations and killing old Star Wars, they successfully set up a moment which would do both in a satisfying way and send Episode 9 hype into orbit...
That part at least made up for being semi-canon breaking by looking really fucking cool. It sorta makes sense that it worked because the chase had drawn the First Order fleet into a formation that allowed the sacrifice of one resistance capital ship to take out a significant number of enemy capital ships and that their fire had been drawn away to the fleeing transports, allowing the cruiser to get into a position to make a suicide jump to hyperspace. It's one of those things that almost makes sense if you don't really think about it, which is pretty consistent as far as Star Wars goes anyway, where almost nothing makes any fucking sense if you think about it for more than it takes to get to the next scene.
Beyond dumb. They managed to build a massive fleet of planet killers without anyone noticing!
John Boyega is an astronomical faggot and Finn being turned into a joke most likely assisted in harming his career. One of the few good things this abortion of a trilogy did.
I'm not really replying to this post specifically, just that I agree with a lot of your sentiments on TLJ. A lot (basically everything) of what they tried didn't work, but I appreciate what the attempt was.
just about everything they did harmed the movies, Mist has some good points, but she's being way too kind about the depths they dun goofed on TLJ. in reference to Finn, in TFA he had an arc, he started out as a squeamish coward, then he nutted up and took charge and it was even suggested he had some Force sensitivity. which i didnt think was awesome or bad, but it was an interesting arc and i was curious to see where it was headed. TLJ he was back to being a punkass bitch. following Rose around like a little poodle. there was no tension between them for any kind of romantic plot twist, he was just doing what she wanted and she insinuated herself in every scene. the one time he tried to nut up and do something heroic on his own toward the end, the bitch comes barrelling in and cockblocks him to make sure he stays a punkass bitch. it was an intentional thing. i still havent watched the last movie, but from the clips and trailer. it looks like he's back to simping for Rey and still never nuts up and just tells her he likes her. more punkassery. what he did to his own career is on him. he worked really hard to earn that "difficult to work with" curse and now he can enjoy it.
lol I'm sure this decision was his to make. you cant fire me, i quit!
Boyega also spoke about his recent career, underlining how projects such Breaking and The Woman King helped him realize he can do much more than remain attached to the Star Wars franchise. As Boyega puts it:
