The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

The sequel trilogy was a shameless cash-grab attempt by Disney. It was unimaginative, unoriginal and boring.

The first one had some good plot hooks to further and grow the franchise beyond what it was. These were immediately dumped by Disney corporate and replaced with slop.

TFA felt like a cheap knockoff of the original a New Hope.
