I really liked it! For starters it's way better than the prequels.

Does Han die? Were the callsheets/MSW right all along? Does Luke only appear in the last scene?

How does the fighter battle compare to ANH & ROTJ? Are there only X-wings on the resistance side in the whole movie? Where da y-wings at

So how badly does Finn get his rear end beat by Kylo?? Are we talking lost limbs here? Was his single glove at the premiere hinting at anything?

Oh sorry, spoiler thread!

So yeah Han Dies, X wings only on fights, Luke only appears at the very last moment, Snork smoke (something like that) kinda looks like a giant alient from X-COM.

Overall it felt like a remake of A New Hope, which is fine by me. Effects were great, except when the CGI version of It's a trap! fish dude appeared.

And how do they explain away the Millennium Falcon conveniently being on Jakku? Was it seriously stolen and then dumped there?

Every single part that showed Kylo Ren without his mask (In my opinion the weakest element of the movie)
Why was the hologram of the new "emperor" so large?
I liked that it felt like A New Hope remade, but a new Death Star?

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
So why did Han and Leia, especially Leia being the leader of the Resistance after all, just let their evil son go around the galaxy with impunity and assemble a new empire ready to enslave the galaxy? Might have wanted to nip that in the bud earlier.

Why didn't the story just have them not know who Kylo was, so that it was a reveal to both the audience and them?

Do we get any idea of the size of the First Order? Like how much do they get hosed by their base getting destroyed?

Any info about what the Knights of Ren are about? Are the other dudes Force sensitive? Is Snoke still following the Rule of Two or "gently caress it, strength in numbers"?

Somehow I think none of that gets answered yet but doesn't hurt to ask!

Good thing they signed Harrison ford on for this so that Han can literally do nothing and have no point other than to show up and get killed for some kind of shallow 'emotional impact'

Harrison Ford has shown in the last 15 years that anything more in regards of acting is just too much to ask for.

So Finn gets defeated because he's just a trained soldier and not the least bit Force sensitive?

Sure looks that way; everything i've read says that he gets beat pretty easily by Kylo, Rey sees this, becomes overwhelmed with the force, and starts expertly fighting Kylo Ren after the lightsaber flies into her hand.

None that stood out to me apart from some sequences on Jakku. It's very much an OT callback affair.

First Order has stormtroopers equipped with lightsaber-resistant clubs. Finn almost gets killed by one. He puts up a good but one-sided show against Kylo.
