Summed up in the "running out of gas" scenario actually used as the main plot device.

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2017)

1. The whole movie takes place with the rebel juuuust out of reach because... "they are smaller and faster"? lol. Just because Empire ships are big, they are slow? Then how do they keep up that perfect 'just out of reach' pace? Hell, how bout a tiny hyper jump like the Falcon did to drop off Rey and jump over to the rebels? Or those big guns that destroyed an entire planet section? Not using em or did that ship the size of 500 only have tiny guns?
2. How about 1/2 of the plot that went nowhere? I mean that whole casino bit and the 2 of them being star-struck by the 'beauty'... uhhh all your friends about to die at any moment? Maybe focus a little? And that bit about money being evil because rich = gun runners and war profiteering? Mission failed but saving some racing animals (and leaving the slave children) made it all worth it. Was this written by a lame Social Justice Warrior from Berkeley? But hey why not, it was all for nothing and they just came back anyway. Good thing she stops Finn's heroic self sacrifice at Hoth 2 so she can get a kiss? Because 'feelings', folks.
3. Supreme Leader Snoke. I remember there was so much interest and mystery behind him and his origins after the last movie. How he would tie into it all... Nah just a random bag guy with no past or further development. What a waste.
4. So Luke played the whole strike me down bit, but ahHA he wasn't really there so he couldn't die. Pretty epic Force power. Oh wait. Random death because he taxed himself too hard?
