Quite honestly, I think its both.
He wants to be good -- but can't.
He wants to be bad -- but knows he shouldn't
Im slightly curious as to what exactly Ren means when he says, "I know what i must do but Im not sure if I have the strength to do it."
Does he mean that he wants to turn to the light side but cant give his lightsaber to Han, or does he want to turn dark but hes not sure if he can kill his father?
Although, I think some of my favorite stuff was the sort of goofy voices that John Boyega would use for Finn. I still giggle a little when I recall his line about being a big deal -- it's just the way he says it.
I know JJ is a Stern fan. Did anyone else notice the line "its kind of hard to understand you with that helmet" during the first interrogation? Is it a tribute to the Darth Nihalis interview.
**none Stern fans ignore the link**

Guess it's worth it though when you consider it as a launch pad for your career.

Boyega as well. that's how it works.
And for Ep 8 and 9 they will get millions.
Ford got a reported $25M (though Disney says that's ridiculous)
Hamill and Fisher got 7 figures and all of their pay will go up SUBSTANTIALLY once it hits $1B and the backend deals kick in.
Why wouldn't the original cast get paid a lot more for the roles? The new people were nobodies that could be easily replaced before filming. Not sure why people think they should be paid as much as the people everyone came to see. More so I've never understood why anyone cares who gets paid what like it effects them.
30 years later or so and still using xwings? There better be some awesome bwing in the next one.
R&D is expensive, I doubt they could just come out with a new fighter every 5 years like the US government does.

not just that he voiced a billion things it seems and all of them extremely wellMark Hamill didn't just do nothing. He was busy becoming the definitive version of the Joker. :wub:
If you've ever seen the series Andromeda, they explain the need for pilot in a fairly realistic way - something about making quantum choices while following different paths. OK, maybe not so realistic but obscure enough that no one is really going to question it. They need more of that sort of thing in new SW universe.If they can turn a planet into a weapon that can absorb a sun and use it to blow up multiple planets in one shot, they can pretty much do anything. They probably just don't see the need for anything better than what they already have. An X-wing or Tie Fighter on its own is probably a formidable fighter capable of taking out most spacecrafts, so it comes down to pilot skill.
The way they could improve them is making them drones that can react faster than biological reflexes, but in general they seem to be resistant to using artificial life for anything other than menial tasks.
I haven't seen any posts here complaining about Rey being the lead, but more than people found the dialog "Why are you holding my hand!" "Quit that!" to be a bit awkward and possibly there for some sort of agenda. You can't really say that she does that because she's a bit of a loner as she seemed rather glad to meet "Finn the Resistance fighter" (he's a big deal :biggrin. As I mentioned earlier, I think they could've done a better job to showcase Rey by simply having her take the lead and pull Finn from an area that she knows would be far too dangerous. It would not only showcase her as being strong-willed but also intelligent.
One of my biggest problems with the movie affects Finn and Rey too. The movie just leaves to much out that helps give our characters this air of believability. That link posted earlier about 25 questions on the movie actually provide a lot of detail that makes the movie make a lot more sense. The problem is... none of it's in the movie. They're sort of emulating a move from Blizzard Entertainment's repertoire, and it's a move that I really, really hate: releasing companion works to your main work that are recommended to truly understand what's going on. In Blizzard's World of WarCraft, there are usually companion novels that explain how certain things came to be. It seems like we've got a similar situation here with The Force Awakens.
I agree with the dialog, but honestly, I don't think it was just limited to Han and Leia. During my second viewing, I was in a pretty bad seat for a dome IMAX showing, so I spent more time listening than looking for details. Honestly, some of the dialog is pretty hokey, and you'd expect better from Lawrence Kasdan and J.J. Abrams. I know... I know... a lot of people will say, "Hey, it's Star Wars", but that's really not a valid excuse.

I guess I missed the 25 questions thing
