That's not how the force works!

Okay, so I'm commenting as a massive all round Star Wars fan. When the force awaken came out I was so god dam excited because it felt like we had a clean break into a new saga.....
But on ROTS, my biggest issue with the movie is the complete disregard for how the force works. Rey can barely kill a training droid but then is able to save Ben and some snake while force healing, both arts are reserved for extremely high level Jedi even yoda couldn't do that. Then the battles through the force and moving of items. Just too much and not accurate at all, even if they are connect through the force it's just spitting in the face of consistency.
The story telling, oh boy, with sagas, they should have an open, middle progression and a hook conclusion. TFA did it well, sure it was cookie cutter style but it was engaging.
But after that we got two polar opposite movies TLJ a slow paced space race with no real story advancement and then ROTS which had so much happening so quickly I almost got whip lash and couldn't keep up. You could fast forward it and put the Benny hill theme music over the top.
All of this being said, I truly believe this saga could have been an amazing story by one thing.... That is either Johnson or J.J directed and wrote all 3 movies.... but that's wishful thinking haha.
