I can't get over that. My boys really enjoyed it and maybe that's what these movies are for as an adult you kind of have to ignore the flaws and enjoy the action sequences.
Daisy Ridley was fantastic and she stole the movie IMO.

The Death Star Mark III was one of the main problems I had with the movie. At what point does the Empire or it's ####### child (The First Order) think that it might be a good idea to look at a different approach to weapons building. It is like France building The Maginot Line 2.0 in the '50's.
I know there has been some discussion about Fin being a thin/weak character, but I enjoyed him. If memory serves, the landing at the start of the movie is his first engagement. He sees what it is all about and doesn't want in. Prior to this it appears he was in sanitation at Death Star Mark III. I can see the story line as: "yo this place sucks, I am gonna put in for some front line unit and get some action".
