I thought the characters definitely had potential, but it felt like it tried to copy ANH almost shot-for-shot. It seemed like every plot beat had an ANH equivalent.
Yeah for real, the characters were extremely interesting in TFA. Poe and the storm trooper(Boyega) had really cool chemistry. Rey was probably a bit more interesting at that point than later, Kylo I remember liking a lot too because of his conflict with the dark side that we’ve not really seen before. Palpatine was interesting as well because he didn’t exist, yet.
Phasma seemed pretty badass too, at least until the subsequent movies did absolutely nothing interesting with her. She’s basically the sequels’ equivalent of Darth Maul in that regard.
