J.J. Abrams Admits the Obvious: Disney Didn't Have a Real Plan When They Made the New Star Wars Trilogy

“Having a plan I have learned–in some cases the hard way–is the most critical thing, because otherwise you don’t know what you’re setting up."

Thank you, Disney for continually reiterating that having money doesn't make one smarter, more creative, or more capable. Fucking hilarious shit.

    Kylo Ren is still probably the most interesting character in the series if only because "manchild who gets angry" is more personality than the rest of the cast who were basically required to act like sapient cardboard

      If you're only talking new trilogy you're probably right. At least he's a new character that has tangible ties to the original trilogy and has a mildly complex motivation he struggles with throughout the movies. In fact, if they hadn't decided his character was too popular and needed to be protected he would have made a great final antagonist over the randomly reincarnated Palpatine.

      Finn's background as a child soldier could have made him the most interesting character if they actually used it instead of turning him into a comedy prop.
