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

It's insane the amount of glazing that film gets despite a) being full of AI deepfake slop of dead actors b) endless nostalgia bait fan service c) no reason to exist (who the fuck wanted an entire film made to explain a tiny plot hole from the original film?) and d) literally every cookie cutter new character they introduce is killed off by the end of the film anyway after zero development. The only one anyone remembers is Andor, and only because he happened to get his own show years later.
