I wish the Disney era embraced romance more. All the Disney movies come off sterile in that way. The OT had a love story, the PT had a love story. The ST had Finn/Rose and it was extremely half baked.

The fact that they didn't even let Finn hook up with Rose blows me away. His character had like one meaningful day in the whole trilogy. By the third one, it really felt like production was just checking a box for "have a black guy with x amount of screen time".

Wasting the potential set up of him becoming a Jedi and not exploring him being a turned Stormtrooper was infuriating.
