    And I know Kylo was injured but I really felt he should have been more skilled with a lightsaber. Finn was able to hold his own for a little bit and Rey pretty much beat him, and neither of them had ever used a lightsaber before.

    Finn kind of looked like he'd be in Isis at points. dunno, just kind of looked that way.

    In fairness, Finn was raised to be a mindlessly obedient storm trooper. I doubt he had much socialization. I personally liked the fact that he was basically a simpleton when it came to interpersonal interactions.

    That's actually a large part of why "You got a boyfriend?" seemed so out of place to me. That line and lines like it didn't seem to fit his character or Star Wars as a whole. It seemed like a 20 year old from our world's lame attempt at humor to me. It literally reminded me of that "Can I have your number?" skit from years ago.

    Looking to Star Wars for believable dialog is like expecting a hipster to to be accepting of your favorite 90's grunge bands. Go back and watch the love exchanges in Episode 2. "I've been dying a little each day since you came back into my life." ....?! "That we would be forces to live a lie .... and it would destroy our lives." !!!!! I've heard porn stars ad lib dialog in the middle of Star Wars parodies better than that sh-t!

    Seriously, if Lawrence Kasdan hadn't cowritten the new movie... it would have probably have sucked.

    I'm not gonna go back to episode 2 for anything. That movie is an absolute piece of garbage. I also don't think I said anything about wanting the dialogue to be "believable".
