Alright, so I finally saw it today and am caught up on this thread. I have many opinions on gravity, hyperspace travel, family origins, space war tactics and others. I will get to them eventually when I have more time.
HOWEVER one thing that hasn’t been brought up yet is BB8. Now in TFO he can do some stuff. In this movie tho he literally can do anything. Fix a leaky circuit? Sure, let me just create 6 robot fingers to stop circuits from sparking? Then just slam my head into the panel for missiles to fire?
Let me steal a random ship and fly it? Let me roll on into an AT-ST and drive it? Let me have a casino chip cannon with a 100 chip clip? Let me roll around in a rectangle droid shell at full speed and ram into any and everything and be fine?
BB8 is awesome and all but if he can do all that just create a rough ridin' army of them and let them kamikaze any unwanted ship with hyperdrive down to a millimeter precision. eff drones, just create the do-it-all BB8.
