There's no discussion. Just a few people sabotaging this thread with the same complaints over and over and over and over.
And it wouldn't be so obnoxious and annoying if we were talking about Battlefield Earth or the prequels or some other movie that was universally hated by fans, critics and general movie goers alike. This one has quite a bit of praise. So much that you could probably say it was met with widespread positive reviews.
And the only response is "well it's dumb and anyone who doesn't realize it is just blind to the star wars brand". lol ok then.

The simple solution to this is stop engaging the people who didn't like the movie and start discussing it.
Stop talking about the reason why people didn't like the movie. It wasn't because we didn't get the social message or we were too caught up with the original. Also, stop making statements about how the original was trash. When you insult people and insult a beloved movie, expect to get replies.
I also think you'll notice that a lot of the people trashing the movie are bringing up specific plot points and going quite in depth into their analysis. Those loving the movie are simply stating how great it was.
Quite frankly, I think a major reason why there's so little actual discussion is that Johnson went out of his way to squash plot points that people were going to discuss. For example, Snoke's origin, Ray's parentage, Ren turning back to the light side, etc...
