A conditioned/brain washed Stormtrooper/Sanitation Engineer that takes everything the First Order has presented to him as truth until his awakening seems pretty sheltered to me.
And regardless of the amount of comic relief, he still serves that role.
Ipso facto, QED, proof by induction yada yada.
Finn is Jar Jar. Case closed m'lud.

Look! That plant over there must be Jar Jar Binks too! It's so obvious now!

Having thought about it, I don't think Finn is anything like Jar Jar. Finn is a good stab at a new unique character, and in many ways the best thing in the film, other than Harrison Ford and Chewbacca of course.

It's not about their specific character, it's to do with their role in the film beyond the direct story.

Ahh yes, yes I see. Well, if it's the case, I'll take Finn over Jar Jar any day.

Errrr....
I don't remember it being this clumsy.
Some nice imagery, like the Star Destroyer crashed in the sand. Otherwise... I dunno... the unnecessary murdering of 'the villagers' left an unpleasant taste in the mouth. I don't want to be told that story. I want to be told a different one.

Hmmm well yes...
Finn and Po are really good characters! Rey less so.
But it's all just so clumsy. Like the kids got hold of Daddy's Star Wars toys and had themselves alittle adventure.
Why is this 'First Order' such a surprise when they're SSSSOOOOOOOO well equipped?
Why is there a 'Resistance' at all ?!?!?!?!?!
And the coincidences are... stunning...

What the hell was that? A planet-basrard-weapon fires some kind of super-laser-beam at several other 'systems' and the destruction of these 'systems' is instantly visible to in other 'systems' that took our protagonists a good space flight to reach. Whhhhuuuu... what's going on? Are these 'systems' next door to eachother? Like in the same Solar System? It just doesn't make sci-fi-sense!

TFA is the single dumbest villain plot I've ever seen.
Not only does physics blatantly not work this way, you spend septillions of dollars building a one time superweapon that will self destruct upon firing, and then "test fire" it to send an example, instead of using it to destroy the very heart of your enemy. Never mind that as soon as you pull the trigger, it would take anywhere from dozens, to hundreds of thousands of years (depending on the target) for your end result. And some targets are just flat out unreachable.
That's not even mentioning watching an entire star system and it's clearly visible planets being destroyed in real time from the surface of a planet dozens of lightyears (at least) away.
It's insulting how bad this is.

Han and Leia are used terribly. It hurts. It hurts so bad.
And again, Chewie is given NOTHING to do.

And then they do it, they kill Han Solo, what an absolute set of cunts.
My childhood dies because of... Fan-wank...? Shouty incomprehensible unnecessary... They literally did Star Wars again... Almost act by act... Or am I a dinosaur? And this is a grumpy old man rant...
My childhood wonder seems a long time forgotten. I have my head-canon though...

If you've got some kind of blast-damage to your abdomen, the last thing you want to do is repeatedly punch yourself in that same injured area.
