Finn is like the new jar jar.
Only he’s blander and less funny.

So, in a way he’s not like jar jar at all...

Same, i kind of liked all of them.

Im probably in the minority for this but i really liked Kylo Ren as a bad guy being a departure from the typical sith/dark side bad man thing(at least imo), so ill probably vote him.

Although i am very tempted to vote for Finn just because of the poll option for him, it made me chuckle.

Well they all made me chuckle, but that one in particular did.

I'd have to disagree with that. He was really the only character I was interested in, even if his betrayal of the Empire was poorly executed.

I like Kylo.

A lot of his fans defend his weirder moments. I think his tantrums and his emo moments were ridiculous, but he’s supposed to be like that. He is a significant departure from most dark side users, and a character that feels a pull to the light instead of a pull to the dark is an interesting concept.

TR-8R is everyone's favorite, so it wouldn't really be fair if he were in the poll. Phasma was waaaaaaaaay to lame in my opinion to even receive an honorable mention. I don't care what her motivations are, a villain who just surrenders without a fight is not a very good villain. Hux, however, should have been included in the poll, since his popularity does not go without saying like TR-8R's, but still deserves to exist, unlike Phasma's.

We don't know much about Phasma's background. Maybe he had something in his past.

Call me a diehard, but I disliked pretty much all of the characters introduced in The Force Awakens. Rogue One, on the other hand, had characters that I actually liked, such as K2-SO and the blind guy whose name I can never remember.

Chirruth I think.

I like the Episode VII characters, but I agree that the ones in Rouge One are better. Shame they all had to die, but I guess that’s necessary, and it shows Disney has the guts to kill people off... don’t mention Han, he asked to

Would sound fucking raw if every Imperial Star Destroyer I've seen that wasn't led by Darth Vader wasn't inept, to say the least. Even the ones that are serving temporarily directly under Darth Vader, who's commanders have the threat of a Force Choking spurring them, can be inept.

Rogue One I genuinely enjoyed.
The space battle, battle on the ground, and of course the 5 minutes of Darth Vader killing Rebel Scum made me sqee with joy.
