I was annoyed that the rebel pilot dude felt like a really superficial hero that we were supposed to be impressed by and hadn't earned it at all.

Then it looked like he died and I thought the director was trying to show how everyone is vulnerable and the new stormtrooper guy had to try to live up to a completely ridiculous ideal. I was interested.

But nope, not dead. Just an empty cool pilot hero guy.

dude was supposed to stay dead but they liked the actor so he was brought back via a hasty rewrite with no explanation whatsoever

I really like the idea of Kylo Ren, because the main villain being an angsty little poo poo with daddy issues playacting as his famous villain grandfather could make a pretty interesting character study in the right hands.

I'm just not sure the people making these films can actually do the idea justice.
