People need to relax and enjoy the movie. I just think everything people are complaining about would have made a movie I liked much worse.
Would 15 minutes of exposition about who Snoke was done anything for the story, no.
Would we have been better to find out Obi Wan was Reas Great Uncle. I think it would have had the impact of further shrinking the world while not really making a difference one way or another to the actual plot.
Was the killing of Snoke a wasted character, maybe but much like the death of Edard Stark some times the unexpected end of a large character can drive you deeper into a story. I think the whole scene from Snoke telling him to kill Rea to him assuming leadership of the order made Kylo as a character, you know who Ren is and you believe in him as a character now, 10 fold improvement over him being the absolute weak point in TFA.
The Fin diversion was a little out of step with the movie, but i like that they tried to motivate the resistance, and it was important to building up Poe as a bigger character.
The car chase scene was a little stupid, but it really did given me a feeling of hopelessness on first watch, and i think that was the point.
So Rea picks up on things easily, who cares she's the character she needs to be at the time they need her to be that character, played by a great actress.
So Luke has undergone some personality change in 40 year, wow
Finally in which star wars movie was it exactly where they didn't re-write what jedi powers are and aren't?
of the few things that did bug me, Maz had no reason to be in this movie, It just felt like placating fans who liked her two years ago, i hate when they do stuff like that its the trap franchises fall into. The Liea thing was stupid and could have just been cut, letting her die there. Why in such a state of tech decline, those bombers sucked, the land speeders sucked... Nothing big that would impact the overall fact that it was a good story that i got sucked into.
