Yes, TFA was amazingly incompetent bottom of the barrel writing. R1 had solid characters, they were just not the cartoony fanfic carricatures that we saw in TFA: It's a gritty war film with characters dying at the end, no place for MarySue writing here!
- The Whill-priests are one of the best odd couples in recent memory, I want to see a spin off telling their story.
- The other odd couple was the droid and the pilot, both former Empire sevants, but with different backgrounds...thr droid was way more interesting than C-3PO ever was (sorry I still luv you golden-gay boy)
- Jyn was the classic SW orphan character, but her story of 2 fathers who abandoned her, and her reconciling with them, and thinking their life work to end (i.e., getting the sabotaged plans as revenge, fighting guerrillia style like Saw for the rebellion) was a lot better than the non-story, but myster box-ing laziness that was the Rey character. Cassian was a traumatized soldier done right (unlike Finn).
- The baddies were actual villains, and not YA EmoRens beaten by rookies all the time.
