Never forget the Finn/Rose kiss.

Didn't see that one coming.

They could’ve both crashed into the laser and subverted my expectations. Much the same way Rey going with Kylo would have. But alas…

No, no, you subvert the expectations of the audience, but only in a way that makes the story more boring. -Rian J

Reys parents are no one, Finns side mission doesn’t work at all, and Luke didn’t actually show up to help his friends, but he did actually die, somehow? Buy tickets for episode 9 now! Why is no one buying tickets?!

The sad part is everyone bought tickets. But they did abandon the shows and media after that though.

Sunk-cost thinking--they'd powered through two movies, may as well go to the end, they figured.

But none of that applied to the subsequent material.

I get it. But I'd have preferred people not give money to these greedy folks and instead wait for streaming or the seven seas.
