I don't think they missed the mark, I was really quite happy with it.

Give less time to Rose and Finn - every time it would switch over to them I felt myself losing focus just because of how drawn out and boring it was compared to the action scenes with Poe and of course Luke/Rey/Snoke/Kylo.

I saw this as the next phase of Finn's journey. He's got a wide range of things going on in this movie, all he knows is Stormtrooper, First Order, Resistance, etc. He's still trying to figure things out and he makes a lot of mistakes. I loved Rose as a character, but I do agree that the movie did drag a bit when they were featured.

The space Leia was awful, but not nearly as bad as the Casino planet. Could have cut that entire scene out and gave more time to Snoke which I felt was extremely needed.

Didn't mind space Leia, The casino planet set up the reality that there are scum out there profiting off of the entire thing, and the dark reality behind that opulence. That for some people the First Order and Resistance are just a way to make money. It also foreshadowed the betrayal of the Codebreaker, and the ending of the movie.

I drew very similar comparisons to Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers final scene and the final scene in this film. I'm sure some of you can see where i'm coming from.

In a way, yes. But in the opposite direction.

Biggest improvement for me was Kylo. Finally we have the villain I was hoping to see in The Force Awakens.
|
Yep, he really nailed it, the actor and the character.

Awesome: Yoda, Music, Kylo, Lightsaber battles particularly the last 'Knight of Ren' that is slain through the eye. Luke, Chewy.

Yoda was awesome, the music was awesome, I really enjoyed the movie and it left me with a lot of thoughts for the next chapter.
