Ah cmon. If he was white we wouldn't be saying that. (Cos it wouldn't be a thing. )
By the way 'the way he says it' is only taken up that way in the US TBH.
He's actually just pleading with the droid. You guys are applying a meaning to it that isn't there.

What he's saying is that the way Finn says that is a more modern (culturally) thing to say and may not age well. The cry "for Jeddah" is something that has been done throughout the ages.

And I think all that overexcitement is building up to his scene with phasma where han has to tell him to dial it down

Some of Finn's dialogue is the only thing I didn't like about TFA:
Did you see that???
Droid please
You got a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?
That's one hell of a pilot!

Meh. I think much of Han's dialogue (for example) in Empire is just as bad or worse. I don't have a problem with the dialogue. Both Boyega and Ford manage to pull of the clunkier moments. Easily forgiven, I think.

They're clunky and poorly delivered by Boyega. Difference between Force Awakens and the OT. It's not a dealbreaker, just sort of cringey.durdencommatyler wrote:Meh.

We need a thread for each film ranking the best and worst lines in a poll in each.
And then a grand final thread to find the best of all and worst of all lines in all Star Wars

I've been thinking this ever since the film came out but as someone who had a boy crush on Leia, I preferred her even more here. She was just so warm in this one. Maybe it's about time I said it.
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.
