Yes, that is unfortunate. I feel like this film vas very much Rey's story, which I thought it worked - but I'm not sure it was the same story TFA set up. Apparently JJ Abrams confirmed to a fan that Finn was indeed going to tell Rey he could feel the Force, so at least I was right on that! (not that you need the Force to be a main character, and I've read some cool meta about how Finn not being Force sensitive could make his decision to shake off years of indoctrination even more heroic, in that he would not have had the help of some greater power - I'm on the fence on this, because I think that moral choices are still a person's responsibility, Force or no Force, and I admire Finn either way, but it's interesting to read other people's points)

Oh, yes, I love The Clone Wars! It's not Anakin himself, but having his ghost or more of his presence... but at the same time, a lot of the character's conflicts in this trilogy are about the void left by other people's absence, and the more I think about it, the more at peace I am with it. It was never about Anakin, but about what people chose to do with his legacy/the legacy of the Jedi. Idk.
