Writer/Director insults intelligent Star Wars fans

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2018)

Let's leave out all the propaganda - feminism, vegetarians, the stupidity of saying the only way to get that rich is war...coming from Hollywood/Disney. Let's leave out all the sexist nonsense. There are many valid reasons fans felt insulted by this entry into the franchise.
Let's go straight to yet another valid point - he went full stupid in so many cases. Intentional? It's just who he is? He solved problems by being a crap writer in multiple cases. And this happens so often in the show, I could write a novel on it. Instead I'll focus on 6 glaring examples within the story.
1) Droid smash - was this an attempt at humor? Because he uses the same lack of intellect to solve many issues throughout, so I wouldn't be surprised if having BB-8 head-smash into the sparking circuits to "fix them" was the best solution Rian had to offer. Completely lacking intelligence and logic, this is par for the course.
2) Blowing up bombers - One blows, they all go because they are flying close together. "Oh, in real life they fly close together...". In real life, if they destroyed everyone around them, they wouldn't. They would be smarter. Different consequences require more intelligent planning. Making those pilots and everyone they work for complete morons is the Rian way, it seems.
3) Manhole cover- You're making your escape with everyone on your trail and you need to cover your tracks. Are you really going to leave your escape path open? They couldn't find them with tunnel sensors or anything more believable, more intelligent? Nope, because intelligence is not the Rian way.
4) Crashing out of love - The supreme sacrifice is about to be made. Someone is going to stop the weapon that is opening the door to remaining rebels. Then some selfish twit crashes into him at high speed, knowing the writer won't use logic or realism and will instead have them both survive the horrific crash. Yes, it's a bad crash that in real life would have killed them both. Yes, she put her feelings above the lives of her compatriots - the very definition of selfishness. Yes, it was a nice sentiment, but very poorly executed on many levels. Again, the Rian way.
5) Management - when Rian goes dumb, he goes dumb on every level he can think of. Drama is one thing, but having the commanders keep everyone in the dark and inviting a mutiny isn't just the worst kind of leaderhip...it's also the Rian way. He couldn't think of any more intelligent way to keep suspense but have intelligent, competent leaders? Or does he just hate women and this was his way of calling women in leadership fools?
6) Rian doesn't comprehend explosions. Explosions burn, they have shrapnel, they kill. In fake Hollywood shows like Mission Impossible they throw people and have no shrapnel or heat, but can't we have something better here? Leia was only knocked out...and only for a few seconds or she would have suffocated... It's one thing to have Stormtroopers unable to hit a target, but now explosions randomly completely miss as well? It's one thing if something shielded her from the blast, but no, instead we get more from Rian.
And the mental midget didn't just do this with the story, he did it with fan expectations as well. He chooses to give the fan theories no satisfaction, to alienate the fans, to handle fan expectations in the dumbest way possible - but just making everything nothing. No specialness to the main character's parents. No backstory or awesomeness from Supreme Leader Snoke and so on.
He gave us his best and it was awful dribble. Kids tell better stories than this and with more intelligence.
So many reasons this isn't for thinking fans and why the fans rebelled against the garbage they were fed.
So many legitimate reasons for not supporting this awful film.
