after seeing the movie last night, I can safely say I have no idea why people are up in arms about this movie. I thought it was awesome.

 

I think its because people are looking at the older ones with nostalgia goggles. I ran through all six movies over the last few weeks. I don't remember every little word and detail, but I think people are forgetting how much of a plot contrivance the force can be.

yeah, one thing I loved though was the pacing. I remember how the prequels were like 3 hours long...so exhausting

Actually....they were no longer than the original Trilogy or Force Awakens. About two hours. XD I think the poor pacing was messing with your sense of time.

But honestly man, the empire/order whatever has got to stop making planet/moon sized bases. They barely even get any use out of them.

I feel like I should hate that they essentially just did another death star, but the weapon was SO DAMN COOL in design that I can't.

My one complaint about this movie is that they never explained the politics of the world. The First Order is apparently an imperiel remnant that escaped to the Unknown Regions and rebuilt itself. The Resistance is a private military organization founded to oppose them, because the New Republic decided to demilitarize outside of a small peace keeping fleet (which was destroyed along with the capital).

First Order isn't an Empire per se....but along the lines of....Cobra, I guess?
