Why did Disney think this would be a good character?

Obviously it's a Yoda ripoff, but there's literally nothing good about it.

a fucking grapefruit
WTF were they thinking, /tv/?
>>
>>79441064
Agreed anon. Perhaps the most disappointing character. Couldn't be a more obvious Yoda replacement if they tried. Middle of the road design. Her running a cantina did nothing except give us the obligatory cantina scene. The use of CGI mo-cap was disappointing and her 'feel the force' moment was really forced
>>
Like most things in JJ's movies and shows this character was completely superfluous and could be taken out with no real harm to the plot.

What's with episode VII and people being such fucking losers? Not just this talking beef jerky, but also Ren being poor as fuck and earning a living with scrap metal while she has mad force and piloting skills. You'd think she'd be able to use her talents a bit better.

>we want a yoda except make it sound asian

>>
>>79447466
this, his scenes in Empire are /maximumcomfy/ and the fact that we know so little about him only that he's extremely wise and powerful while still a funny old muppet thing is what made him so endearing.

then Lucas made him CGI and gave him a lightsaber. If they were just making the prequels now and they hadn't come out yet we'd be joking about how that's what they'd do to Yoda, but George wasn't even following trends when he did that. He was just a mad man
>>
>>79450473
>the fact that we know so little about him only that he's extremely wise and powerful
You can derive more than just that. For example, Yoda is hiding because he's living alone in an offputting swamp planet in the middle of nowhere and doesn't reveal his real identity at first. When you contrast this with the fact that he's supposed to be wise and powerful, you can tell that something went real bad for him to end up like this.
>>
>>79450610
or something went really right, he seemed happy just cooking shitty soup for Luke and fucking with R2-D2. He felt like a Tom Bombadil character. Tolkien was smart to never use him outside of those few chapters in the first book because he was too powerful for any conflicts to occur in the story and it would ruin the mystique. Jackson didn't include him at all for those reasons too, and because he didn't add anything to the plot so it was easier just to not show him. I like in the commentary he intentionally talks about writing the film in a way where its possible the characters meet him, just off screen.

I went off topic a little, but that's how the prequels should have done Yoda.

Yeah it's an annoying vaguely "ethnic" Yoda ripoff that I think is trying to go for the quality of like an elderly feminist professorial type, since, for the left, academics are considered the closest thing to the wise elders we're supposed to listen to unquestioningly now.

But yeah, insufferable character taking after an insufferable, toxic kind of person in society today.

Everytime I see this shitty fucking excuse of an arguement I wanna neck myself. No shit.

They're introducing force sensitives who aren't Jedi or Sith so they can drag the series away from the boring as fuck Jedi/Sith dichotomy that's plagued it for decades.

The worst thing about her for me was that they introduce her and then 5 mins later she's just gone. Not even a hint what happened to her.

The only time this is a valid argument is if it's made at last partially clear (ie Rey's family) that it will be addressed later. Even then if it can't stand on its own that's some pretty flimsy shit. Imagine if Darth Vader and Obi-Wan had insinuated that there was a mysterious force out there in ANH and we first saw the Force getting used in ESB. ANH would have lost a ton of its cool factor.
