I did love this movie, i cant say i didn't but i do have a few gripes with some of the directing and story points. I really wanna see other peoples opinions on this so please reply. First i feel like too much in the beginning is up to fate. Damon getting caught when Finn wants to leave, BB-8 finding Rey, Finn finding Rey after hearing about the droid, the Millennium being on Jakku, Rey, Finn, and BB-8 running into Han WITH the Millennium Falcon. I understand some of it needs to be there to get the plot going but it felt excessive to me and somewhat fake. The start of the movie while entering felt random and i wish there was more focus and reason behind the series of events other than "it just happened". Second, even though i know star wars has been one giant family story i think so much is becoming connected its getting saturated. The Han family story is good and i think i feel this way because Kylo's origins have not been expanded on yet. But i hope that Rey is not Lukes daughter, if so i feel like it might become a clusterf**k. Third i really don't like how Rey just seems to "get good" when connecting to the force. Yes she had a staff, yes the force helps, and yes Kylo was cocky and injured but she got GOOD. Too good for reason. I think it should have made Kylo seem worse, focus on the fact that he was injured and made it look like Rey beat him with almost pure will. Because i mean 15 seconds earlier he f**ked up Finn but then he gets his ass kicked? Seems weird to me . Fourth i don't like how Luke is just standing on a mountain. Felt underwhelming. I wish he had been in a temple and she hiked the steps and found him meditating. Then he looks up and turns around. Something like that. Just my take on it. Fifth Hans death felt forced. It was powerful and i hope ill understand it more when Kylo's backstory is revealed but ATM it feels forced. Sixth Too much action. I felt like i needed a break at times. Seventh TOO similar to the original trilogy? This could be a pro to some. Eighth HOW DOES THE EMPIRE/FIRST ORDER JUST KEEP GETTING BIGGER GOD DAMN WEAPONS! I know Star Killer base is in the lore but god damn. I thought the empire were supposed to be crippled after Endor and Jakku. How do they come up with this kind of stuff so fast! Those are my gripes with the movie! Please tell me what you think!
