TFA made something ok that wasn't that great to begin with. Prequels were senseless wank, so best ignored. Have yet to see Rogue one though.
Pretty much how I saw it too. If they were designed to be seen as a progressive onscreen gay couple, the movie did a terrible job of it. Then again, since those characters were specifically inserted to court a bigger Chinese viewing market, it seems unlikely Disney would give them any personality traits whatsoever that might appear controversial in China.Darth Rosenberg said:And if they are supposed to be romantically entangled, then it's little more than queerbaiting, given a straight version of those two would've had no need for coyness. Speaking 'in code' to the non-hetero in the space-year 2017 is bullshit - they work well as a closely bonded pair of world-weary warriors, and work terribly as a supposedly gay couple.
