Why worry about them at all? They are not designed to track and hit fighters in the first place. It's like using a battleship gun to fire at a jet ski. Also for some reason ventral "cannons" fire missiles.
He holds her hand while running away. He gets knocked out and she runs to his side and the first thing he asks on waking up is if she is OK.
Who is snoke? They didn't even mention him much. Is the supreme leader that huge? He is like thanos.
Supreme leader is snoke? Was there an Easter egg after credits? I left immediately at the credits.
Bah, the hand holding thing was little more than a "girl power" moment from my perspective. We've seen so many times in movies where the man grabs the woman and gets her to safety. In this case, it was a way to blatantly show that she didn't need such help from a man and establish her character as a strong woman.
Make no mistake, I'm all for that, especially with two daughters of my own. I just felt it was overt in such a way that made it feel cheap somehow.
After a couple of viewings, I noticed something peculiar about Rey and Finn -- they are both impeccably "nice". They are perfectly "kind" souls. Perfectly "light"
They never do the wrong or bad thing. Rey takes BB-8 from that scrapper. Fixes his antennae. Won't sell him for a years worth of "portions". Finn helps out Rey at the drop of the hat while he's dehydrated and running from TFO himself. He holds her hand while running away. He gets knocked out and she runs to his side and the first thing he asks on waking up is if she is OK.
Yes. It was mentioned several times in the film. I had no idea going in.
His character is played by the same actor who played Smeagol in the LoTR films.
It was funny though. It makes you wonder how that trope got started in the first place. Its not like it would make the woman run faster. If anything it would pull her off balance and make her fall.
After stewing on the movie over the weekend, I think the only thing I really object to was Han and Leia breaking up, and his death. Maybe it was one of those kinds of relationships where they break up and get back together over and over, but it felt like an extended break up, like 20 years. And I realize Harrison Ford really wanted Han to die, but it could have been done better. Most of the other issues with the movie probably wont matter over time, but they cant really recover from the Han and Leia chapter.
Why worry about the turbo lasers at all? Instead of flying in the same plane as the SD, why not just go "down" from it?

I think Rey is the Incest daughter of Luke and Leia. They somehow produced a super force user offspring

I will ask why they didn't just tractor beam the f'in thing.
Ford’s galactic payday is based on a $25 million upfront payment – placing the 73-year-old star in the very top echelon of Hollywood earners – backed up by a 0.5% share of the film’s gross earnings, which could be worth another $9 million if the film hits $2 billion at the global box office. The basic figure is more than 56 times the $450,000 flat fee received by British newcomers John Boyega and Daisy Ridley – who will also start to receive a cut once the film grosses $1 billion worldwide – and crucially, 17 times the $1.5 million sum Carrie Fisher is due to receive for returning to the role of Leia Organa
If you're going to get really fussy then ask a couple more questions. Why did hotshot pilot fly toward the REAR of the star destroyer - behind the engines is the biggest hole they have in terms of weaponry. The entire 'wedge' design was create to allow ALL their guns to fire forward. But I'm not that fussy.

I dont think a star destroyer has the same kind of tractor beam that the death star did. You probably have to be close to the hangar for it to work, and even then, probably not strong enough to grap a ship going full speed. I'm not basing it on a book or anything, but seems reasonable as to why they wouldnt always use it.

The First Order: The New Republics rise reduced the once-mighty Empire to a rump state hemmed in by strict disarmament treaties and punishing reparations. But in the galaxys Unknown Regions, former Imperial officers, nobles and technologists plotted a return to power, building fleets and armies in secret. This movement became the First Order, ruled by Supreme Leader Snoke, and is now ready to reclaim the Imperial legacy.
The Resistance: A small, secretive private military force, the Resistance was founded by rebel hero Leia Organa to monitor the actions of the First Order. Most New Republic power brokers tolerate the Resistance while regarding Organa and her fighters as dead-enders with an unfortunate fixation on the past. Organas cash-strapped movement relies on credits, ships and equipment quietly funneled to it from the few senators who share her concerns.
So we just watched a movie about a mostly worthless tiny resistance movement, when they just could have sent the republic fleet and smashed it?
