Where to start? It's an awful movie with such huge plot holes and stupid writing that I'm utterly shocked. How could they mess this up so bad? ***SPOILERS*** Luke dies. In the most lame way possible. He just dies looking at a sunset on his water planet after projecting a force image of himself on the salt planet to give the Resistance time to escape. (I know, that sounds ridiculous because it is.) Captain Phasma dies. She catches Finn and Rose and has every opportunity to kill them both with a blaster. But, she ends up fighting Finn in hand to hand combat and loses. That's it. She's dead. She has like 4 lines of dialogue. And she's gone. Snoke dies. You know, the most powerful force user in the galaxy that was even stronger than the Emperor? How? Kylo uses the force to rotate Rey's lightsaber next to Snoke, turns it on, and cuts him in half. That's it. We still have no idea who Snoke is. What's his backstory? Where is he from? How did he turn Kylo to the dark side? Nothing. Dead. Pointless character. Leia almost dies. She's in the bridge of a battleship and the bridge gets blown up. [b][i][u]She gets sucked into space with no protection and somehow survives extreme cold and intense pressure from space.[/u][/i][/b] She then uses the force (since when can she do this) to pull herself back to the ship and gets brought back on. So, Leia can somehow use the force and survives in the dead of space with zero protection. Commander Holdo, a random rebel leader that takes charge after Leia is in a coma from being in space, is pointless and stupid. She acts like a villain and doesn't tell Po about her plan to evacuate the ship and run away. Why? Who knows? But, because of her lying to Po, Finn and a new character Rose go on a side quest. Finn and Rose go on a side quest in the middle of the movie. Keep in mind, this movie's story takes place over a few hours. Finn and Rose have to find a code breaker to get them inside Snoke's ship so they can disable a device that can track ships out of hyperspace. So, they go to a casino world that feels so ham-fisted into the plot. Pointless drivel. They find a code breaker guy that they hire to get them inside Snoke's ship, but he ends up betraying them (surprise surprise.) Other stupid things: -Rey's parents are nobody junkers that sell her for money and are dead. That's it. No special reveal. Nothing. -Where are the Knights of Ren? You know, all of the former force users that trained under Luke and went with Kylo to join the First Order? Nothing. -How did Captain Phasma escape Starkiller base? She was thrown into a trash compactor. -How did the First Order conquer so much of the galaxy? They blew up like 5 planets with Starkiller. There are thousands of planets in the galaxy. Only 5 were part of the New Republic? That's not even everything. Holy crap. This movie was a mess. Never been so disappointed in a Star Wars film. Absolute garbage. I don't know how J.J. Abrams is gonna fix this in Episode 9. I think it is beyond saving.
