I've been trying to think about what would have made the Finn and Rose B-plot better and I'm just not really sure there's an easy fix because I think my problem with it is pacing. There's just no time to reflect on the finer points of anything they're doing, they're basically just yelling CAPITALISM IS EVIL at a casino as they run by it.

The thing I liked most about TLJ compared to TFA is that the Rey/Luke scenes DID have a lot more room to breathe - they were slower and left a lot more time for reflection and to just kind of take it all in, which is something that TFA struggled with as it was constantly on a roller coaster from one place to another, never stopping to take in the scenery. But the B-plots of TLJ struggled with this even more than TFA did because there just wasn't enough time. I think the Finn and Rose stuff could have made a lovely little adventure movie of its own, but with only those two characters (and I guess BB-8 too) there it felt disconnected from the rest of the movie. It kind of needed to be there to provide a contrast from Rey and Luke but it kind of felt like I was switching between two different films for a while there.
