I just don't get why people get so butt hurt over some of this stuff. I'm as big of a Star Wars fan as I know, but are we not able to admit that the originals had flaws and were rather childish at times as well? I wouldnt necessarily say they are kids movies, but they are movies about space wizards. Wizards. In space. That travel at the speed of light. Have swords made of lasers. Every ship flying on planets with atmosphere completely defy any laws of physics. I hate plot holes and bad acting as much as the rest, but Christ it's a movie people.

I didn't want Finn to die because I hate him, I thought it would have made a great arc to his character; one that is a coward, constantly running, finally decides to stand for something and perishes doing it. Rose I thought would sacrifice herself as her sister did.

And as for the supposed backgrounds (or lack thereof) for characters, there's a whole 3rd movie to go. I was operating under the assumption that anything Snoke or Kylo told Rey was a lie/some form of manipulation. And so what if her parents have no special significance. To me that's what will give her balance. She has no family to cling to out of fear, she has exactly one friend in the whole universe and barely knows him. She has no family legacy to run from, or live up to. I love the idea that special can be found anywhere. The little moment of that kid using the force to pull the broom to himself I thought was one of the best moments of the movie.

Snoke not seeing Kylos plan made perfect sense to me. All he wants is power, it stands perfectly reasonable to me that he would have been blinded by it in that moment. No different than literally every other Sith Lord seems to conveniently forget while telling their apprentice to "fulfill their destiny" that their destiny has always been to kill their master or die trying.
