The "I don't like sand" line alone is worse than anything Jar Jar has ever done.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Clearly you need medical support and fast!
Jar Jar Binks is an abomination and it's 10000000000 times worse than anything you've described.

When I rank Clones and Menace I have to weight the pros and cons of each.
Sure, Menace has Jar Jar and Jake Lloyd - who are both just awful. But, they aren't the real focus of the story. So, looking past those two, you get an ok story, and Lucas's dialogue isn't as noticeable as it is in Clones and Sith. You also get a fun Podrace and a cool finale, plus Darth Maul.
Now Clones, you get Hayden and Portman's hamfists shtfest of dialogue shoved into every orifice. The "I don't like sand" line alone is worse than anything Jar Jar has ever done. Plus nothing really cool happens. The arena fight is kinda forced, Fett does nothing, and then Yoda pinballs around Tyranus for too long. meh. Balls of meh.
This 1,000 times over. I preach this all of the time. Both are the two worst Star Wars movies, but Clones is the worst. The acting was terrible. You described it perfectly.
Also, sorry Harry, but agree about the sand line. That is the scene I show everyone when they say it was a good movie.

Sorry Christian but that's so wrong it's not even funny.
The sand line is totally irrelevant, nobody cares about it. Yet Jar Jar Binks is a notorious abomination.
And Attack of the Clones is way better than The Phantom Menace.

Thats not much of a personality
Same with the rest of the one note characters
Its weird you say this. Since TFA has Finn and Rey. Some of the flattest and inconsistent characters in the Star Wars universe. -

He's a blind monk who can feel the Force, but isn't able to actually use it. It's why he's such a good fighter.
I imagine that's like being a really good boxer and not being able to fight because you've got one arm. Any other person in the galaxy would most probably hate the fact that they can feel the Force, but can't use it, whereas he embraces it.
He's definitely more interesting than Jyn who was your standard ''hates-authority-because-of-my-daddy-issues'' heroine.
I don't know what's more worrying. This job or your past. -

Like I said, Poe and Finn had great chemistry (which is ironic to hear this as a positive since one of the critiques of TFA was that Finn and Poe's chemistry was forcedno pun intended). But the characters of R1 did too. Was it as good? Maybe not. But they weren't friends, they shared a common goal. Jyn, K2, and Cassian I thought were great on screen together.

Yeah I remember reading that, they gave off that vibe of two random people just barely escaping enemy territories together, that's why I had no issues with it at all.
I thought they were fine in Rogue One, but if there's one complaint I'll have it's that they still could've been more fleshed out. Just a bit.

What you mean the same personality that Han Solo had in ANH and ESB?
He was a soldier who watched his friend die and wanted to escape the First Order. He gets sucked back into the fight after bumping into Rey and BB-8, but no matter what he's still determined to escape. He slowly befriends Rey and after he decides to leave, he watches her get taken away and realises that he cares about something more than his own survival.
Do you mean that personality? Because that's who Han Solo was. Except he was a greedy, self-centered smuggler and not a rookie Stormtrooper. It took three movies before Solo officially joined the Rebels, it took Finn about an hour.
Solo may have been working for the Rebels for three years between ANH and ROTJ, but that was because he had a debt to settle with Jabba the Hutt and the Rebels probably paid him for his service.
Personally I think Finn could've started out as a loyal soldier who slowly grows more disillusioned with the First Order. The only problem I have with his character is that he left too early and met Rey sooner than he should have.
I liked him better than Cassian Andor anyway.

You're describing a narrative, not a personality. Solo and Finn do not have similar personalities.

The problems with Finns character goes beyond just that. His whole shtick is an example of terrible writing in TFA
He was put into the first order at a young age. So young he doesn't even remember his parents..So around 1-2 years old. He then spends his whole life being indoctrinated.Quite literally his whole life revolves around the first order. Yet when we are introduced to Finn he doesn't act like an indoctrinated soldier..Nothing about him says he was trained from a young age to be a solider. Nothing about his personality says he was indoctrinated and holds any of the New Orders ideologiesThis is lazy writing.
Oh and then you have Finn betray the first order cause he saw some of his friend storm troopers get mowed down.So what is Finns solution to seeing his friends get killed? Betray the first order and Kill them himself
..See how excited he was on the tie fighter mowing down his friends before he escaped the ship with his gay lover?
