Ah a spoilers thread in that case allow me to insert my two cents.
SPOILERS
SPOILERS
1) The new superweapon I mean really am I the only one who finds the whole concept ridiculous? An ENERGY weapon that travels faster than the speed of light, apparently can't be protected against, can split to hit multiple targets in another system and drains the sun to nothing on the SECOND shot. I mean really the whole bigger, badder, death star was just mind boggling to me.
2) The new republic's fleet being destroyed what they didn't have a single ship outsystem for protection of the presumably numerous starsystems under their control?
3) The massive amount of back story left unexplained. Who is soke? How did emo boy who got beaten by a girl with no training wipe out the entire jedi order? How did a non-human gain control of the empire?
4) Attaking AND defending the superweapon with a bunch of fighters, what happened to all the capital ships?
5) Similar to one not only are the rebellion's (now resistance) fighters able to fly between systems in minutes (seems you were right about that but I stil dislike it) but they're able to get real time scan data on how the battle's going from another STARSYSTEM.
6) Blaster fire can completely destroy a starfighters engines?
7) That stormtrooper weapon capable of stopping a lightsabre just there because . . .?
A few established rules being tossed aside e.g. mass shadows, or maybe they're being expanded not sure here.
And now things I liked.
1) That opening shot of the stardestroyer covering the moon was very impressive.
2) I like the little bits of technology floating around like the self raising bread.
3) Ah the good old millenium falcon and its numerous glitches made worse by the new owners tinkering.
4) BB-8 reminds me so much of Wally with its personality its adorable.
5) Some very nice scenary pieces especially the big confrontation between emo boy and raine in the snowy valley.
6) I saw it coming but impressive they weren't afraid to kill off major characters.
7) Poor old Han just can't convince people he's not double dealing.
Impressive battles both on the ship scale and the personal scale there.
9) The love story in this one didn't feel as forced.
10) I liked the reptor being slplit in half by the Falcon flying through it.
All in not a bad movie and worth paying to see even if I did feel a bit like i was watching a remake at times.
