Anyone else kinda disappointed with Star Wars Episode 7? (SPOILERS AHEAD)

[spoiler]The guy and girl main characters were kind of meh. It seemed like the trailers were building up Finn to be the one destined to learn the force, yet it ended up being the annoying female that is amazingly lucky and bullshit. I mean, how is it she basically mastered the force enough without any practice to use the mind tricks and even fight again Kylo Ren's mind searching force trick? Since when did she learn how about how to do all these tricks? Overall, her character just annoyed me and I'd rather Finn had been the one with force powers. Also, the movie was pretty good, but it was like I was just watching Episode 4 made in 2015: you have a "Obi-wan, you're my only hope moment" at the beginning as well as what is equivalent to the scene where leia's ship was boarded in Episode 4, there's a planet destroying weapon threatening the rebel base, and there's a trench run. Some of the jokes were decent, but it seemed like it was trying really hard to ride the nostalgia of the old movies with jokes like the trash compactor and what not. Overall, the movie had great special effects, beautiful scenery, and wasn't that bad. I'd probably watch it a second time around.[/spoiler]

  • I feel like Fin will end up learning the force as well, maybe not as strong as the girl, but still learning it. Remember when Kylo Ren was about to board his ship in the beginning after the attack, but stopped dead in his tracks to look at Fin? I feel like he sensed the force in him, since Fin was able to make the distinction that killing all the villagers was wrong and stand up to them by escaping, I definitely feel like he'll have to ability to learn the force, they're just building up to it you know? Like, why show us everything awesome in the first of the new movies? It'll just be even cooler when he learns it later on. As for the Rae(Ray?) being so proficient in the force though not trained, you have to take into account that her father is presumably Luke Skywalker, the one who restored balance to the force. (I REALLY believe he is her father since his lightsaber has been passed from generation to generation and then called to her). It was like a do or die kinda deal, it didn't work the first few times. As for her being able to keep Kylo out of her mind, the way I took the character is that he's not a Sith Lord(yet) he didn't come off as anything more than a child to me. Someone who knows about the dark side, and wants the power, but has to many issues and lack of discipline to be a truly powerful Sith yet, so her natural talent in the force comes from the strong lineage she has in it. Just my opinions, I loved the movie and can't wait for the next one.
