Finna watch this shit right now
Just saw I liked it and will be looking forward to the other sequels.
I'm sure Rey is Lukes daughter and Fin is force sensitive himself just on how Kylo reacted to him in the very beginning. Ren is going to come back with a vengeance now that the one thing that kept him from diving in the darkside is now gone. Luke better have a damn good reason for hiding all this time now that his home Solo is gone. Po definitely needs to have some more scenes he was great and I wonder how Mazda xame in possession of Anakins saber.

There's no tention becuase the pacing in the movie is too fast you don't spend enough time with the characters to care about them its action scene after action scene. As a result none of the scenes in this film are rememberable becuase there's no build up. Alot of this film got cut the original cut of this film is 3 to 4 hours long.

No , he deserves that work for that shit, I will not forgive that treachery.

I enjoyed the film. It was a good balance of humor, action and story telling. It really did have the original feel to them. I appreciated that everything wasn't cgi which made everything feel more authentic. Cgi is great when it isn't over done so I tip my hat to Abrams for that.
The Finn complaint
Kylo Ren
The Finn complaint
I'm sorry about dudes up and arms about Finn is wrong. There are too many instances where we look at roles and don't appreciate them because we ourselves think they are stereotypical. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his role. It would've been the exact same case if dude was white, I guarantee it. And that's what we should want, not any special treatment just fairness.
You have to think, Finn couldn't do much but shoot a blaster which most storm troopers are trained to do. They are supposed to be expendable that's why there are so many of them. Everything that he encountered it was his first time encountering it and he picked up on it all really fast. There was no token black guy moment to be had. He is one of the leads and drove the story.

Kylo Ren
I see nobody picked up on the idea that he hated Solo because he wasn't force sensitive.
When he was essentially praying to Vader's helmet he called him grandfather. He also claimed that Luke's lightsaber was rightfully his.
I think that's why he has shortcomings because of his hate for Han and the fact he wasn't force sensitive. I also think that's why he turned because he was learning so much about Vader and Luke he felt his own dad wasn't good enough. I think he told Rey I know you are looking for Han to be the father you never had, don't because he's weak.
I didn't like how they killed of Han but I liked the foreshadowing for Ren. When they were standing on the bridge there was a little glimmer of light shining on them. When the sun was covered up it was basically showing that the light within him was no more. I like that he's imperfect and flawed.

Yeah, the complainers are full of shit because he propelled the story from the beginning to the end. Literally the entire movie follows him and nothing happens successfully without his actions.

Bruh... After watching this movie and skimming through these spoilers... You summed up what I wanted to say about my first impressions exactly. As of right now i literally have nothing more to add.
I might come up with something else later but for right now you hit both my points

I guess I'll throw this one thing in... Poe Dameron is gon be cool as fuck. This just might be the ex Airman in me but the aerial battles stole the show for me. He need more screen time in the next one
My only nit picks is that Finn ain't have any kick ass moments. But he played the hell outta his role, him and Rey. They definitely proved they can carry this next set of the trilogy. I wasn't convinced of Kylo-Ren, he ain't really bring that evil badass vibe. More of a whiny, bitter brat than anything. Hope he does better once his training is complete. Now Sok(?), he is an evil bad ass. I wouldn't mind seeing how these emperors of the darkside reach their level of power. I like that alien chick, Moss(sp?). Hope she escaped and shows up later.
And how the hell were they draining the sun of energy for their weapon and not creating a black hole?

Is Finn the only stormtrooper to switch sides? You can't just chalk that up to him having a conscious on his first mission, that's kinda weak right now. The way the First Order was calling him traitor, they need to dig into that. Like is it pure brainwashing that's got these dudes so loyal or is their an actual Utopian civilization that has prospered because of the "darkside"?

One thing about Finn, dude didn't have any kick ass moments. Great acting, courageous character, but I didn't see anything that showed me dude was awesome. Everybody in the movie has their moment, Poe the most, even Chewie went ham for a hot second. I ain't see that with Finn. The times he did, it was in a bumbling way. He'd try and then fail or need help. Rey's sidekick is the best way to put his role here. Cool movie, but it is what is.
And after all that dude got friend-zoned at the end of the movie. LOL. And then this dude was in sanitation in The First Order it's later revealed, which was really strange to throw in. Like why the hell was he suddenly sent to the front lines? So what he got promoted? Well, where was any of that military training that got him promoted at? I'm just saying.

even when a sun has expended all it's energy it still takes millions of years for it to cool down & collapse

Aight I do got 1 complaint. Pretty minor...
Captain Phasma. I remember being hyped that they had Brienne of Tarth in this shit. They literally could've had anybody in that suit and it would've been the exact same. Wasted character. I know the nerdy side of Gwendoline Christy was just happy to be there. But she was wasted in this role.

No bad ass moments? Shooting down the tie fighters during his escape w/ Poe? Gunning down Captain Phasma on Jakku? Being the only non force user/droid to wield a lightsaber in battle? Actually giving Kylo Ren a couple slices? And I didn't get any type of inclination that he got friend zoned. Rey just had to go off and complete the mission of finding Luke.
Some of these gripes are coming off real nitpicky.

I see both sides but I think his moment will come which leads me to believe he will have the most development. He will grow into "that nigga" just like they are grooming Ren to be a better version of himself.
I think the janitor part just turns it into him being an unlikely hero. He was just a mere janitorial stormtrooper but in turn he saved the galaxy. That sounds better than all galaxy badass saves the day. We see that all the time so I'm ok with his portrayal. He had moments for sure but they weren't grand, I can agree with that.
Now after Ep 8 and he ain't had his moment we can be like wtf but in Ep 7 with Finn its like a learning process. Everyone else involved were basically vets or had an advantage. Poe is an elite pilot and Rey is force sensitive who has been living on her own since a child so she knows how to handle herself. He'll get his shine.

Idk if this is a spoiler but anyway
Does anybody else think the quip about "yes this is what the resistance looks like" a shot at the racists/doubters for casting a black lead?
