Watched it again last night, someone needs to make a version of it with the Asian guy and Forest Whitaker mostly edited out. The rest of it is still great though,
Why? Donnie Yen represents the people that still believed in the ways of the Jedi and the force. The whole arc is about the Jedi order being powerful, then almost non-existent, then being resurrected again after the death of the Emperor.
Forest Whitaker's character is mostly pointless, though.
I don't mind the idea of the character for a movie with no Jedi but they made him too powerful and he just comes across as a bit of a flog for a lot of it. I don't think Saw Gerrera was pointless just badly done by a crap actor.Why? Donnie Yen represents the people that still believed in the ways of the Jedi and the force.

But yes, it was ridiculous how he beat those troopers with a stick. And they lay there like they were dead. Stupid.
FWIW, ROTJ was also lame for that reason too.It's Star Wars. You see storm troopers in every movie collapse with no apparent injury anywhere. Ewoks knocked many out with small rocks FFS.
I understand some who think the character is gimmicky or cheesy but using that as a criticism is bizarre.

It's not bizarre at all, as I hold the same criticism of ROTJ for the gimmicky way in which troopers were killed.
Oh! And also the blind guy walking slow-mo thru the freakin' battlefield, in a straight line, and not getting slaughtered by the hundreds of blaster fire going back and forth.
I'd be okay with the trench walk.....only if.....Edwards had removed the stick attack and the TIE fighter being shot down. But all three together was a huge for me. Ruined the movie. The only thing that saved the movie for me was the 2 seconds of Sad Vader looking out the bridge of his Destroyer.Jedi is a religion effectively and the movies are full of subtle and not-so-subtle religious overtones. That bit was all about faith in the force. Again, no problem with that and easy to reconcile.
And that ruined that scene for me. The only thing that saved that scene for me was the 1 second of Angry Vader bitchily putting his hand on his hip.In ANH C3PO and R2 move across a narrow corridor slowly and about ten blaster shots somehow narrowly miss them.
A crap (Academy Award winning actor). Oh my.I don't mind the idea of the character for a movie with no Jedi but they made him too powerful and he just comes across as a bit of a flog for a lot of it. I don't think Saw Gerrera was pointless just badly done by a crap actor.

He was one with the force and the force was with him..
Definitely some lame battle moments in RO, but I still liked the film..
All made up for in the last scene
For those complaining about Chirrut Imwe, how is what he does any different to Luke blindly defending lasers wearing that helmet when he's first practicing with Obi-Wan? Except that he's much more experienced and in tune with the Force compared to Luke in his early stage. Makes perfect sense to me.
