Do you think the character was (a) well written and (b) consistently written in the context of the previous six movies, regardless of your disdain for the content/plotting of the prequels? (a) Yes, and if she is badly written, so is every other Star Wars character.(b) Yes. That would be your highly subjective opinion.

What about fans of the SW universe like myself, who didn't post on the IMDB forums until AFTER watching the film? I didn't give a shit there was a female cast as one of the leads. What I gave a shit about was the fact that the leads we got were terrible, and undeveloped. Jar Jar was written better. He had a shitty arc, but at least it was an arc. He was also consistent within the confines of his character development. At least i can laugh at Jar Jar and baby Anakin. I can only cringe when Finn or Rey say or do anything. Your bias is showing. There you go again, acting like your word is law. Right...when I laugh at them for having awful dialogue or doing stupid things(though, within what's expected given their development), it means I love them. I want their babies?

There would have been hundreds of posts today about the trailer, from the ridiculous to the sublime. We will do what we can. Well, there's still the comments section of TLJ's teaser video on YouTube.

I think Rey was well-written, for what she's supposed to be. Is she consistent? No. I think that's the point. Her character is an anomaly. Whether or not you can buy this new development within the universe will pretty much decide whether or not you can enjoy the new films. I get why some people don't like it, but I'm on board so far.I'm on the other side of the fence pending something really redemptive in TLJ, but -- respect. Thanks for a thoughtful, civil response.

LOL, I guess everything isn't different from the old forums.... It's starting to get toasty around here! And by that I mean that the flame wars are starting to multiply. I think I'll go make myself a bag of popcorn.

The only thing I'm worried about is them bringing back another prophesy to apply to Rey. Just let it be what it is and have a bit of mystery. I'm pretty sure they won't do that though....

That holds very little weight when 8 out of 10 people who dislike Rey actually hold me pointblank the problem WAS that she's a girl back on the original IMDb. Yes, really. I read SO many comments on The Force Awakens and Rogue One boards about how Hollywood needs to stop shoving female leads down our throats because they're not believable action heroes. You should have seen the sexism in action. I whole heartedly concur. when will all these sexist, chauvinistic, bigoted, intolerant misogynists get it into their heads that:-
There is no such thing as a badly written female action hero!
PERIOD!!

Agreed. Wish more of the old board migrated over.... Where the fuck are they? Do you know where other people went to?

That's because this place is a circlejerk for a prequel-loving-sequel-hating fanbrats. I definitely get a bit of that Bizarro world feeling here; in regards to Star Wars related conversations.

I don't know. There was a time I would've said the same thing, but everything changed somewhere around the release of the teaser trailer for TFA. That's when the trolls popped up. The board never really fully recovered from that. Prior to that, I used to like it there.

"a bit"?! Hopping online at all these days is like entering a Bizarro world where the prequels are flawless masterpieces and anything new made, ever, is horrible.

Hopping online at all these days is like entering a Bizarro world where the prequels are flawless masterpieces and anything new made, ever, is horrible. Hyperbole. I think a lot of the the prequel fans are l Lucas loyalists or kids who grew up liking shitty movies and get defensive about it because other people hate them. I like some bad movies too, but I can (usually) separate enjoy vs good/bad. This sub sect that likes the prequels, but insists on hating any new stuff are even weirder.
