He served his purpose in TFA. Move on. It's not his story.
Thursday cannot get here fast enough!

I hope you're trolling with this ridiculous post.Why do people care so much about Finn, Poe, Rose, etc? These are background, fairly boring one-dimensional characters. This is the Skywalker saga. Who cares about these other players? Luke friggin Skywalker is back in the mix and people want screen time wasted developing who?...Poe? Finn? Phasma? Why not the guy who fuels the X-wings? These are background characters. In a movie with Luke, Leia, Kylo, Rey, etc., screen time shouldn't be wasted on supporting cast any more than absolutely necessary.
I hope you're trolling with this ridiculous post.

I believe everyone gets their share of screen time. Poe gets in trouble and demoted, I think, at one point but comes through in the end. Finn defeats Phasma. Her helmet gets cracked in the fight. During the battle she falls to her death. He does not directly kill her. But she dies.

You are missing something important here. Your post led to TONS of spoilers all over Twitter and many social media sites. You have ruined something that people wait for for years. The reason people come at you is because they are in denial and hope that you are wrong. Honestly it’s literally depressing to accidentally see spoilers on Twitter. Sounds overdramatic but you have upset a lot of people. And for what? An ego boost from strangers on the internet? You must have known that you leaking things would lead to them spreading to people who didn’t want to see them. Next time maybe just... like... don’t do this.
Why don't you just say something bad about my mother while you're at it.
You know, I could try to get into it with you about media literacy and racism in film but we both know that's not gonna go anywhere because it serves your worldview to just keep being racist. Good luck with that. I genuinely hope Star Wars evolves into something you can't stand but that actually represents the diverse body of fans who love it and deserve its respect.
If you have an issue with a character, take it up directly with lucasfilm instead of bullying other people who have nothing to do with the story writing process.
I do, actually, because I do care to see myself and my friends represented in the media I consume. It's a shame that calling people on their bigotry is considered bullying. I didn't call them names, I didn't mock their mother as I was so hilariously invited to do. It's so tiresome to watch purported fans ignore such beautiful characters and storytelling because they can't get past their own racism and bigotry. That's sad to me. I feel genuine pity that anyone would miss out on these stories because that's a frankly sad way to live. Of course, it's also deeply frustrating because there are so many fans who will see that bigotry and feel excluded from what is otherwise a very fascinating universe. The EU gave us so much content and even with the wipe in canon, there is still so much depth to explore within Star Wars. But how can those stories grow to their full potential when they cater to a single kind of person and shut out everyone else? The world is a fantastically diverse place and it's disgusting to see anyone trying to keep Star Wars from reflecting that.
I deeply appreciate that you can recognize that it is in some way your limitation that gives you that experience. I love Luke too! I think he's a fascinating character and an inspiration because it's rare to see male characters that show such deep love and compassion for everyone around them. It's a strong trait of his and I wanted often as a kid to dress of as him even when I wasn't capable of understanding the films that well. However, I also want to see people like me on screen. There's no arguing that representation, *positive* representation matters to people. Not just because it feels good to see yourself and your story played out on the big screen, but because that means other people are seeing you (hopefully) past stereotypes, are seeing you as human. Of course, if you're already on the big screen, it doesn't feel like diversity matters so much. It wouldn't, you already see yourself. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with seeing yourself and enjoying it, but there is a problem telling other fans that they *shouldn't* want to or need to see themselves just because you see yourself. I hope that sentence makes sense, it's getting pretty late and I'm not as clear as I would like! For what it's worth, I don't think it's idiotic to talk about ****** like this, even in creative spaces and this definitely way calmer than other "discussions" I've had! So thanks for being chill, dakini!It could be my limitation but I don't need a character to share my skin tone, gender or orientation to identify with them. Luke has been my favourite character for decades and we have nothing in common if we go by these superficial traits.
