Possible Improvements on a Already Good Movie Plus a Fix for the Basic Big Boom at the End

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2015)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015): After reading others reviews I will not nitpick the minor plot holes or praise TFA's many good points which would repeat what most have already covered. I enjoyed the movie and was pleasantly surprised that it was not the anticipated Abram's reboot that overlooks canon but is a story that fits nicely as chapter VII in the SW saga. I will however, IMHO, do an improved but moot rewrite of the Starkiller's (SK) destruction scene to avoid Star War's threadbare "big bada boom".
As the Republic fleet hammers the SK's shields and move asteroids and bombs between the SK and the sun to impede charging the weapon, the Millennium Falcon jumps under the SK's shields and lands as close as possible to the command bridge to stop the weapon from firing. A squad of 30 commandos along with expected main characters unloads and gets trapped outside the command bridge following Finn's plan ("It's not my fault" Finn says). In the MF, Chewbacca opens fire on the command bridge surprising everyone. Finn having worked sanitation and guarding engineering work crews recalls that the Techno Union have their own nearby control room to test the SK's systems and is accessible. Captain Phasma is captured accidentally by Finn and used to gain access to the engineering control room ("I don't know, I'm making it up as I go along", says Finn). In the control room they cannot stop the weapon firing but using resistant Techno Union workers, CP3O, R2D2, or BB-8, to trigger a simple plasma containment field calibration program. The program quickly cycles through hundreds of containment fields used deep within the SK to contain plasma. Since the SK is now full of plasma from the sun when charged, the containment field calibration causes multiple plasma leaks which slowly eats away at the inside guts of the SK. The incredulous command bridge soon realizes that they are now sitting on a small sun and will fry long before they can fire at the targeted Republic sun. After quick arguments, General Hux misfires the weapon and vents any remaining plasma out the ports thus saving their lives but the SK is now an unstable smoldering husk (no big boom). Captain Phasma is dumped down a garbage chute, Kylo Ren hacks his way into the control room just as everyone runs away. Lots of fighting and heroes dying getting off the SK as the Republic fighters swoop in to deliver the coup de grace. Kylo Ren is shocked/chuckles/irate when he receives injuries (i.e. losing toes by a dropped lightsaber) from people who do not know which end of a lightsaber to hold (AKA never fight an amateur). After the battle General Hux receives a message from the departing Techno Union congratulating Hux on turning their SK into scrap. Then the banking clan calls to confirm what the Techno Union wrote and Hux is called to an update meeting with Supreme Leader Snoke about his shiny new toy. A new base commander is quickly promoted (Hux dies) or Hux becomes the SK's permanent decommission officer for life. A reeking Captain Phasma is recovered from the rubbish bin and escorted for questioning and joins Hux's fate.30 years later the misfired beam hits another galaxy and they respond.
Watched TFA some more and a nice twist would have the First Order being anti-religion anti-force (after both Jedi and most Sith) because of the death toll of the "ants" during the Force wars.
