They should just do The Boys From Brazil with Finn as the Weisenthal character and the mengele stand-in trying to clone Palps (again).

Make it happen, Disney.

Lucas never mapped out anything. What are you taking about? Do you even know the production of Star Wars? Lucas never even thought he would get a sequel and didn’t plan shit.

Luke and Leia were not siblings.

This is a brilliant idea. They did so little with Finn’s character that his potential is still wide open. I’d be happy with a TV series as well. 

Agreed. I thought the background for his character in TFA was easily the most original and compelling, and Boyega brought energy and charm to that character. And then instead of being about something new Star Wars was just about the same two families of people it had always been about, which I should’ve seen coming…

My typical response to anyone who claims the original trilogy was all planned out is to point to basically any scene with Luke and Leia from the first two and say “Tell me with a straight face they were always supposed to be siblings.” In fact, Lucas has been quite open about how the other hope Yoda talked about in…

Lucas mapped out nothing.

Gotta say I would much rather watch a Star Wars trilogy about Boyega as a former stormtrooper discovering who he is and what his place is in a post-Empire galaxy than whatever the hell was going in the Resistance Trilogy.

In fact, in the Dual of the Fates script, Finn actually has an arc and leads a Stormtrooper revolt on Corousant. And JJ and Terrio decided to throw that out so that they could fit the unfortunate implication that Palpatine fucks. 

To say nothing of KMT, who was practically cut from RoS so that JJ’s buddy from Lost could take all her lines because he won a bet.

Finn had a solid character arc in Last Jedi, going from someone who only cared about Rey to a full-blown rebel willing to die for the cause. Po less so, but there’s still his hotshot-to-leader arc. But yeah, RoS had no idea what to do with them.

I’d watch a spinoff about Finn tracking down former First Order officers responsible for kidnapping children to train as Stormtroopers. Sort of like a Nazi-hunting thriller, but in space.

Then why build a shifter that doesn’t operate or function like a standard shifter would and then market it to stupid drivers?

That happened. Also with the Jeep Cherokee, in the 90s.

If it needs an instructional video, you’re doing it wrong.

Unless you put it too close to the HVAC and infotainment controls, and then you have a whole new UI / UX issue (see Chrysler 200).

Could have, should have use the same one in the Ram trucks. It seems stupid at first but it’s completly intuitive once you use it.

If there’s anything learned from these unfortunate episodes, it’s 1) change for the sake of change is no guarantee of being an improvement and 2) ergonomics must be king when it comes to operating a vehicle.

As a former valet and brief Jeep dealer employee, these stupid shifters caused me a lot of headaches. It is very difficult to get into reverse without skipping past it because, as you mentioned, the notches are very light and easy to pass over. When I was hustling cars around lots it was usual to be in drive, then put…

So basically the shifter is like something out of one of those old arcade driving games where it feels like it doesn’t actually do anything. To me they designed this to look fancy and luxurious first and to actually function properly second. It also doesn't make sense to me that they didn't just use the (not that much…
