dead storm trooper/ how did he die?

Rating: 3/10 (11 January 2016)

At the very first landing of the storm troopers, the first squad coming out of their ship ran towards the battle and past a dead trooper. How did he get there before them? If for some reason he got off another ship, why did he die pointing in that direction?(the same axis of attack as the first troopers running out of the ship) This bothered me right off the bat. Character development was poor. Han's one liners took too much time away from the development of the new main characters. Another death star, now planet/sized. Very unrealistic. When you had the old death star, you had a major battle with fleets and massive fighter/bomber battles. In this one you maybe two to four squadrons of fighter/bombers duking it out. Mind you, this is a planet/sized death star. If the original DS had a hundred fighters for support then the new DS would have thousands. Since there was no fleet presence, there would be an automatic CAP of over 100 fighters with immediate support for half the rest. This movie should of been longer or been made a two part series. The movie was cramped.
