The ridiculous prank call Poe made to Hux, which was forced and went on far too long (like a bad SNL skit).
Leia floating like Mary Poppins back from deep space. Seriously?
The lack of backstory/background on Snoke. Just a Supreme Leader, with advanced Sith powers, from .... ?
Luke. I can see disgruntled early on, but he shoulda left with Rey. If he was gonna go out, it shoulda been with sabre in hand. They could of had an epic showdown with Snoke, Kylo, Rey and Luke and still arrived at the same body count.
No actual Jedi vs. Sith duel (only Episode movie w/out one).
Do not recall anyone saying "I've got a bad feeling about this" (only movie w/out it).
Did not like the whole Luke 'force-avatar' thing in the end, either. Palpatine and Snoke had to slum it and use hologram video conferencing...
What did you all think?
I agree with much of this. I'm hopeful that the next episode will help make more sense of this one.
Other than forcing Rose and Finn to share a moment, what purpose did the data slicer thread have? It wasted time, didn't move the story at all, and turned out to be pretty pointless.
I hate what they've done with Luke. Yes, I'm supremely biased considering he was my movie hero growing up, but I didn't like it at all.
Zero time spent on how Chewbacca is managing with the death of Han.
What happened to Snap Wexley?
In three lessons, Rey is a full-fledged Jedi now? Come on.
Snoke was so powerful that he could Force-connect minds from across the galaxy to interact in "real time"?!? Luke was so powerful he could project a real image of himself to interact with the environment in "real time", including conversation?!?
That would make these two the most powerful Force wielders ever in the history of the Star Wars Universe, extended or otherwise. Not even Revan, nor Palpatine, nor Yoda do those things. Oh, and what do you do with these two incredibly powerful Force-wielders? KILL THEM OFF. Christ.
What I liked:
-I liked the development of Poe.
-I liked the Holdo character (many hated it).
-I like what they are doing with Hux.
-I liked the new worlds introduced (visually stunning).
-I liked the Porgs (yes, I said it).
-I like what they are doing with Kylo
