Still trying to figure out the whole 8 million Rey's in the cave snapping her fingers scene and what the hell that was all about.
Also the dark side being the darkside wouldn't have revealed that her parents were nobodies. The Darkside would have kept them just beyond her vision and tempted her with the power to find them.
I mean I get that the whole everything is new age zappa hippy now. But they even fundamentally changed the force in that movie. I even get the whole stupid Midi-clorians acting as a symbiote that allows the Force to communicate the will of the force to a Jedi or a Sith, even though the Jedi don't command the force, they let the force dictate its will while the Sith seek to dominate the force. But in the greater contect, the Force in the new trilogy, frankly means that there is no dark, there is no light there's this shade of grey thing happening that makes little sense.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

Quote:
Luke Skywalker: What do you see?
Rey: The island. Life. Death and decay, that feeds new life. Warmth. Cold. Peace. Violence.
Luke Skywalker: And between it all?
Rey: Balance and energy. A force.
Luke Skywalker: And inside you?
Rey: Inside me, that same force.

It was these modifications to the fundementals of the GFFA, not the change of the EU or anything like that, but the wholesale changes that make me think that Abrahms and Rian wanted to show off how brilliant they were by changing the story will weakly rebooting it.
