[quote=Anonymous]I finally saw the movie. Overall I liked it, but had some eyerolling moments. I don't think I'll see it again, but I rarely repeat-view movies so that's not a criticism.

Things I disliked:
* I'm getting tired of suspending disbelief with regards to autonomous robots in the Star Wars world. They can make sentient robots, but they can't program a spaceship to turn around on its own? Or to go drop bombs on its own? Wtf? 
* Speaking of bombs, gravity bombs in space? Huh?
* Leia frozen in space and coming back. I nearly laughed in the theater. 
* Grand Leader Snope is super uber powerful and then just ...dies? Makes no sense. Though I liked the fact he did die as I felt he was a sort of silly, one-dimensional bad guy. I am only quibbling with how he didn't see it coming. I guess that was kind of the point, but still. 
* The long casino-destroying scene was just silly. 
* The perfect timing on the execution scene with Rose and Finn was ridiculous, and the fact that basically every other stormtrooper disappeared in those seconds.

Things I either liked or at least think are interesting:

* I thought it was a good decision to make Poe's flyboy character responsible for the deaths of most of the rest of the resistance because he made a stupid, hotheaded decision. Leia should have shot him, by rights, rather than stunned him. He mutinied and should have been punished more severely for it. Having him watch as the remaining resistance was picked off by the empire thanks to his dumbass decision made sense. It's about time that Star Wars showed a hotshot, mutinous decision going horribly wrong rather than miraculously right. 
* The part of Luke's personality that they carried over from the earlier series was the whiny, entitled part. It's an interesting choice. I guess at some level it feels a bit unfair to the original character, but on the other hand, Luke throwing a temper tantrum and sulking is totally in character. 
* It was cool to see the Imperial Guard actually do something, and I loved the Kylo/Rey lightsaber battle together. 
* I found the goodbye scene between Holdo and Leia touching. I can't think of any other blockbuster movies that had moments like that between two older women characters. Maybe there are some, but that moment was so unusual that it really stood out to me.  
* Awesome, funny Yoda is back rather than the boring superhero Yoda of Episodes 1-3. 
* The fact this movie is upsetting the delicate snowflakes in the alt-right. That is fantastic and makes me like the movie more. [/quote]
