I've only played the first but I have seen many playthroughs of the first and they both are amazing! (going off what I have seen alone for TFU1)

The first was great and the second one was even better with the action, fight combos, and Force powers. I was just disappointed that it was much shorter than the first but the story line was really good as well.

If the way Rey and Poe were presented to us was more nuanced and not so over the top, it probably wouldn't be such an issue. It's just that watching Eps 7 and 8 it's like their sheer overpowered-ness is both in your face and shoved down your throat. I used to think of JJ directing the film and thinking "muahaha, you Star Wars fans think you know powerful characters, well watch THIS."
As OP as Rey is, Poe is almost worse because he isn't force-sensitive and yet is unashamedly presented as the best pilot in the galaxy past or present. The what... 14 or something TIE fighters he took out in 10 seconds during the mission on Takodana was all we needed to see to know that Star Wars ain't what it once was.
Ugh, lol... I know we all gripe about how Rey could just pick up a Saber and take on Kylo... heck, even Finn had a short battle and was competitive for a brief moment lol. I'm pretty sure Kylo should have been able to just Force Hold or Choke him down... but meh it's all for entertainment right? It is upsetting watching some of these new movies.. I remember Episodes IV, V, VI all starting out similar, and every-time you heard a tie-fighter (especially in the theaters) it was just so LOUD and amazing... now meh. I guess Poe could be the "best" pilot in the Resistance, but he'd probably never be able to hit squat if he shut off his targeting computer  As much as I love/hate the Prequels, it was great to see some of those really great battle scenes and saber battles. All the movement, physics, and I guess we can't call it "Martial Arts"... but I remember watching a lot of the making of the movies and behind the scenes parts where everyone was training and all the hard work they put in. We all know that the original trilogy may have not had the best battle scenes as they were pretty stationary, just swinging back and forth.. no flips or flying around.. I still crack up when I watch Yoda's scene vs Darth Sidious (Episode III) just flying around all over. You can really see that Yoda's Saber is a lot shorter, even his hilt is during that battle. I just love his "little" saber in Consular Green  |

I'm not sure if any of you know this or not, but Pablo Hidalgo has stated that Hera is a better Pilot than Poe. And if Hera is a better pilot, I'm pretty sure Han, Luke and Anakin (and probably Wedge) are all better pilots as well.

What I mean, Poe was the best..in the Resistance...at that time. I do wonder what happened Hera and her son....*shudder* Jacen |

I guess we'll agree to disagree then, Tepes. I can feel the pull of the dark side so I'll cut out now.   |

I get that, and I agree with you. Within the Resistance, Poe is the best pilots. TIE Pilots have never been known for their flying skills, so lining up for an ace pilot like Poe doesn't seem too big of a stretch. |

although it would fit what they like to do to the old canon.

That would not be the most surprising thing that Disney has done |

Kylo already is a watered down version of Jacen...what makes it so infuriating is that Adam Driver and Daisy would have been fine as Jacen and Jaina....and Sebastian Stan as Ben Skywalker. |

I saw someone photoshop his face onto young Luke and he looked just like young Mark Hamill. he could play a younger Luke in a SWBF II era movie I guess? |

I see what you’re saying, Tepes. To me, Kylo is the opposite of Jacen in that where Jacen is cold and calculating, Kylo is emotional and always in conflict. Kylo was in conflict in killing his father and even admit in doing so before committing that act. Snoke Even brought that up saying that since then, he’s a walking ball of emotion and not the raw power potential fearsome leader of the Knights of Ren. Jacen was relentless after being torture by the Yuuzhan Vong which was when he realized that in order to save an entire universe, the sacrifice of a few was needed, otherwise, his uncle Luke would die. He then descended into the Dark side and took Lumiya as a Sith Master. What was left of his light side was when he allowed his twin to kill him while he told Tenel Ka through Force communication that both her and their daughter was in danger. Also, with his belief that in order to save his uncle and the universe, he had to become a Sith and lead the universe out of a future tense doom in which he tortured his cousin, Luke’s son Ben in the process of trying to convert him as well. I believe that thirst are things that Kylie are not capable of since he even hesitated to kill his mother in TLJ. So one can say that Kylo is the Diet version of Jacen |
