And as far as my problems with it.

-Total character destruction of Luke

-Rey is still a Mary Sue, she somehow knows how to swim despite never leaving a desert planet.

-Rose and the whole casino subplot we're awful.

-Phasma is still around for some reason.

-everyone in the First Order is incompetent.

-Something humor like the call at the start is more in line with Spaceballs than Star Wars.

-We still have no backstory for anything, just more poor world building for the sequel trilogy.

-The way the force is retconned to work, especially the balance.

-Liea flying.

-the lightspeed ramming which is flat out contradicted by Han when he mentions you don't want to hit an asteroid field at lightspeed, and makes every space battle before it look ridiculous, where before you could assume the shields worked for protection

-the fact a huge ship can be piloted by a single person.

-Finn somehow drags Rose miles across the flat fields to the Rebels without being killed.

-Holdo and the run away plot line with Poe.

And as far as this trilogy goes in general, it's boring as hell.

There are no new alien characters and everyone is human.

It's a redux Rebels vs Empire instead of doing anything unique (Lucas' plan was for the various crime bosses to form a syndicate that fought the new Empire which would have been far better)

The world is extremely small instead of giving windows into other interesting things (compare Boba Fett to Phasma) there's a reason the old merchandise is outselling the sequel trilogy

The story is meant to be told via the droids, but they rarely appear and there's no real reason except to promote BB-8

For the most part the new characters are extremely plain and boring compared to the original trilogy or the Prequels.

Finn doesn't get any drama with his not-stormtrooper past.

There's no cohesion or plan between the directors whatsoever, and J.J. Abrams lost work became apparent (dumping mysteries on the next writer with no plans to answer them)

I really do not enjoy the film, and I'm sure you will disagree with some things that I disliked but that's fine.
