Let's not forget how the bounty hunter missions were completely broken, to the point that you couldn't even start the quest line at any point in the game. I beat the whole game wondering "what the fuck is that big area in the pause menu that's still locked?"

Also, you still can't unlock the third garden on Pyloon's roof in some saves (mainly mine).

I couldn't give less of a shit about performance bugs, but the fact that core content in the game is still locked because of fucking trigger bugs is mind bogglingly embarrassing.

Still loved the game, though - my favorite game of 2023 (not saying it was the best of 2023, I just really liked this one).

I agree with you, he's kind of a blank slate.
I think that works for a video game though.

It's also refreshingly NOT the chosen one or blood line thing that's a bit overdone in Star Wars.
(Crossing my fingers he's not secretly a long lost Skywalker, Palpatine or Kenobi relative)

Many stories introduce the protagonist in their prime, or when they're at their most interesting, then eventually release an origin story.
The first game felt like an origin story for a dude I didn't know. (Haven't played the second game yet)

My guess (hope) is he'll feel more interesting as he gets more exposure and character development as games come out and we kinda get to see him grow as we play.
