          Correct.

              Domhnall Gleason is the actor, he's really good to excellent in other roles where he's had more than just one speaking line. Something tells Abrams gave him direction to ham it up a little for the role and he had to continue with that in TLJ because the character is 2D and already set.

                You're probably right. I know I can't be the only one who hates this cardboard, mustache-twirling little pr1ck of a stock character.

                I was silently rooting for Ren to force-choke him, knowing it was coming, and then *boom*. It was glorious. I gave a little fist pump.

                  For the record, I like the movie. Some of the comedy was a bit much for me, but it didn't really detract from the movie as a whole. There's only one scene that involves Leia which I thought was too much, more in how it was shot than the idea of the act itself.
                  The one where she emerges from the smoke, out of her coma, and stuns Poe?

                    I love the criticisms of the film that begin, "I wanted..." That's your problem. The director doesn't really care what you want and is under no obligation to give it to you. You shouldn't have come into the film with preconceived notions of what will, or what you want to, happen. Just enjoy the story. If you want Reylo or whatever, feel free to put it in your fanfic.

                    Last night I got in an argument with a guy who said, "The Luke we know would never desert Kylo like that, he would try to save him!" The Luke we knew was in his 20s. How many people in their 60s are the same person they were in their 20s?

                    Oh, and just because someone doesn't like the explanation given for something doesn't make it a plot hole. The fact Admiral Holdo doesn't tell her plan to Poe is not a plot hole. She is under no obligation to tell him anything. She's his superior officer, Leia had just demoted him for getting their whole bomber squadron wiped out and as she said, she'd dealt with hotheads like Poe her entire career. It makes absolutely perfect sense that she wouldn't share the plan with him. In fact, because he went to the bridge, discovered the plan and then told Finn is the whole reason the First Order found out and started killing everyone. Turns out she was justified.

                    For me the Leia in Space thing is a problem but can be overlooked. The Maz piece was a video game cut scene. The whole Canto Bight sequence could have been cut - just have Finn and Rose slip inside the ship but still get caught. I didn't have a problem with anything else. The highs were higher than we've ever seen in Star Wars. Cut out the casino sequence and this would surpass ESB for me.

                    I appreciate that we've been able to have a civil discussion. Other places on the Internet are a dumpster fire.

                      Or just convert it to tinyurl if you want to take a few extra steps.

                        I feel like some of that may have been a setup for IX (with broom boy and the resistance ring at the end). I enjoyed the Canto Bight sequence and Rose educating Finn on that.

                          I will definitely see it again. TFA will never be Top 3 for me but I smiled much more during my second viewing in the theater.

                            Seriously, if you'd like to see Domhnall Gleason give a really good performance for an extended period of time, and with Oscar Isaacs (Poe Dameron), watch Ex Machina. They're two of the three staple characters throughout the entire movie, along with Alicia Vikander (?). It's a really good movie, IMHO.

                              I might be convinced to move TFA up to a B-. At some point, I need to marathon all of them. I'll wait for the 2020 boxed set, which will undoubtedly cost $Disney, and hopefully "de-specialize" what Lucas did to the original trilogy in the early oughts.

                                I'll give it a go, thanks.
