I would love to have learned more about Snoke also. That's one thing that has disappointed me in Star Wars - aside from learning the origins of Darth Vader, there was never really a backstory to how the Sith evolved and were destroyed, how Palpatine turned to the darkside. We know how he became emperor but I would have loved to see how he came to realise he could use the Force and what twisted him to turn to the darkside.

I've read some theories online that like Luke, Snoke was force projecting himself onto the ship. It would explain why he looks younger than he did in TFA even though it is a direct continuation.
I wouldn't be surprised if JJ brings him back. Snoke was never in Johnsons plans, but I still think he's in Abrams' plans.
While his character tied into the Finn/Rose subplot and therefore the movie quite possibly could have done without him, I quite liked DJ (Benicio Del Toro.) Points out a few amoral home truths to them when they steal the ship and is quick to sell them out when his life is on the line as he has no dog in the fight, a very real character as a lot of people would behave like that. I hope he has a bigger and more crucial part in Ep. IX.

When they were describing the master codebreaker it sounded like theywere describing Lando. That would have been sweet.
Overall the movie was too much fast action and not enough plot.
After episodes 1/2/3 I get that the tempo needed to be sped up and I thought ep 7 did well and got the pace right.
This ep8 was just too much action. Snoke, the all powerful emperor died so quickly from a simple trick. Kylo was not BAD or scary enough.
Plot holes everywhere. How did the code breaker know that the rebel fleet was evacuating via transports? Why dinnit the rebel fleet split up when they had a tracker on one of their ships?(oh so amongst the many generals and admirals they did not think to have their ships hyperspace in different directions?). I disliked the closeness of good guys and bad guys. Rae just accepting that she can convert Kylo… (or that she would try too off her own bat), it's too nice. Finn and co being betrayed by the codebreaker after they were caught (I imagined the Codebreaker would have realised that he could not get the codes, contact the empire on the side, let them onboard and then have them captured).
Why Finn was knocked away from the cannon, why 1 x wing wasn't attacked sooner, the stop starting of that entire fight (yea lets just rethink our plan midplan! Although I was glad to see the Gun ho side balanced out).
why wasn't the rebel fleet intercepted by the lighter/faster imperial ships? Particularly once their escorts were destroyed from using all their fuel?
Oh and the transport ships were "betrayed" rather then just shot down/detected normally.
I wish they would spend more time on getting the lines and the plot right. Ep 4/5/6 are classics because they are such good stories. As one post said Ep 1/2/3 sucked for many reasons but one is that a lot of detail was missing in what the characters do and how they interact. Ep 7 and 8 got a lot more of this right but could have done with more polish.

I just went to the movies and enjoyed myself. Does anyone else still do that? Or does everything have to be examined?
Its not a critically acclaimed film or a thought provoking that needs to be broken down and reviewed. Its just sci fi. Every sci fi film has plot holes.

Is anyone looking forward to the Han Solo spinoff?

Yep, cant be any worse than The Force Awakens.
@ said:
Yep, Han is my favourite character so they better not butcher it. Rogue One was brilliant IMO so hopefully it's as good as that.

As a big star wars film, no.
Harrison Ford is Han Solo, no one else. I doubt I'll be able to get past that.

I am a massive fan of Rogue One so I hope Han Solo can match it. I'll be interested to see what type of tone they take with the movie…do they keep it dark like Rogue One, or do something similar to a Guardians of the Galaxy tone?

Only good character from Stars Wars , but if its not Harrison Ford its not on

I would hope it is in the same vein as Rogue One. Darker humour and more realism.
