I finally got around to watching it. I have a few gripes.
(I think we can dispense with the spoiler tags, 6 months after the release.)
Why didn't admiral Holdo disclose the absolutely crucial part of the evacuation plan to Finn from the start, and not just fragments that ended up causing a mutiny? I know the franchise has a long standing tradition of not telling people crucial information but this time it was really pointless.
Why couldn't the first ship to be destroyed (the medical frigate?) do the hyperspace kamikaze thing?
I can't shake the feeling much more people would have lived if Finn and Rose didn't try to fetch a codebreaker in the first place.
The whole first part with the space chase feels as if the writers' original intent was to have a siege of a rebel base, but decided against it along the way.
And they've written themselves into a corner and I really want to know how they write themselves out again.
And they just keep piling on references and hints and bits and not explaining anything and I would very much like the next movie to explain something for a change.
And Kylo Ren would be a way more convincing and menacing threat if he were only to talk a little slower. Effect a little gravitas.
Aaaanyhow. Waiting for the next one
