I thought they were positioning Finn to be the next Luke. I liked the character so I was fine with it. Then a feminist white woman put her boot on his head and Mary Sue’d her way to the top.

I know lol! At the end of the movie, too. I was in disbelief at that point. Somehow she is going toe to toe with the guy trained by Luke, even though she has never held a lightsaber before. She should have been no better off than Finn, but of course, woman.

Even the Paki comedian guy was good here.

That's what I said. That character was well played, and I thought he added value to the story. Like for example, I am curious as to his motivations for wanting to help the Jedi. Clearly he idealizes them somewhat even though what they believe is totally at odds with his life as a criminal. That's a great setup for a character. The only reason I care at all about that is because I found his performance convincing.

What's worse is that Reva actually has a great backstory, being one of the Jedi Padawans that survived Anakin's temple massacre. I liked the little quips from her about Owen "protecting his family" (the way the Jedi and Obi-Wan failed to do for her), and so on, it's just that her delivery was crap. All I get from her is "angry black woman" vibes. What the hell was that parkour stuff on the rooftops about? She was only several rooftops away and did all that running and jumping for nothing because she never got there despite Kenobi having the time to kill the lizard and rescue Leia.

They are clearly setting her up for a redemption arc, which would be fine and good except now we are forced to sit through a terrible acting performance for longer because she is evidently the main focus of this story.
