When are people going to figure out that the Star Wars series just isn't that good.

2 great movies, 2 good movies, then 6 average to bad movies. Most of the related media has been mediocre at best.

It's still really good and, more importantly, you're forgetting the games, tv shows, and everything else. And even its more mediocre entries are still pretty fun. The only thing I watched and really disliked so far was TFA (well, that and Genndy's Clone Wars show)

Rose > finn > holdo for most annoying SW characters

But that's just because they are shoehorned in

At least Jar Jar had an actual purpose, even if his character is too silly for most

Holdo had an actual purpose. They needed somebody to be in charge other than Leia because it facilitated the mutiny (a large amount of that was the insurrectionists thinking that Leia would have done differently; if Leia was in that seat, it was unlikely that people would have turned on her). No matter what, a character was going to sit in that chain of command.

On the other hand, they *could* have done without Jar-Jar. The Jedi could have used a map of some kind to locate the Gungan City, made their appeal directly to Boss Nass, and then had Boss Nass serve as the representative from the Gungan civilization at the end instead iirc of having him nearby looking at Jar-Jar. As for the senate representative, we didn't need to see anybody there. Jar-Jar is superfluous from a story standpoint since his role wasn't needed to advance the story.
