1. LUKE SYKWALKER PORTRAYAL
I don’t know where to start, even Mark Hamill was quoted saying “Who is this guy? How did the most optimistic, hopeful character in the galaxy turn into this hermit who says it's time for the Jedi to end?”
Jedis don’t give up... that’s the whole point of Star Wars, I was saddened with whole portrayal of Luke as this grumpy old hermit who gives up pretty much on everything after one mistake... just to make one little comeback as some force projection crap that exhausts him so much that he dies alone on some lame rock…
2. Supreme Leader Snoke
More like Supreme Blindman Snoke… So episode 7 introduced this mystical new supreme leader, who is so powerful that he basically made Kylo Ren murder his father... only to be erased and chopped off in episode 8 like some random battle droid.
Maybe this explains things?
3. Vice Admiral Holdo Light Speed Hyper Space Jump
Ok I must admit it was visually very impressive, but it presents a major plot hole in whole Star Wars space battles… Why ever fight again, when you can send one kamikaze pilot or even better droid to perform a hyperspace jump through star destroyer, or heck even death star…
4. Leia floating in space
First of all, it looked cheesy. Second, this is the kind of shit that LUKE was supposed to be doing.
But no, he made one force projection that exhausted him so much that he died alone on some rock…
5. Rey's Parents
After all the teasers, and awesome fan theories… Rey's parents were "nobody"?? GG Disney, that’s some deep storytelling.
While I didn’t like some of the recycled elements in episode 7 such as another sand planet orphan, plans hidden in astro-droid again, another death star and similar... it did introduce some new cool characters, stories and elements that got me excited for the new trilogy. Unfortunately episode 8 totally destroyed most of the cool stuff from episode 7 and Star Wars in general.
