The part of the movie your last picture shows made the whole movie worthwhile. Whatever the hell that little creature is, it was easily the best character in the film.
You made some great points about Kylo Ren sucking and Smote does have terrible peripheral vision. Your best point was this whole weaponizing the light speed abilities of a ship. Why this hadn't been done sooner is the best question since someone asked why Frodo didn't just take the giant eagle all the way to Mordor in the beginning.
Despite the good points you made, I actually liked this movie. It was a shame that Luke was such a bitch but I guess it's more about Rey. When you said Rey is too powerful, I just thought it makes you wonder who her parents really are.
I enjoyed the casino scene. You may need to watch it again as Finn and company didn't end up in the jail cell with the guy they were looking for. The master theif they were looking for was at the baccarat table but they were arrested for parking on the beach before they could talk to him. The man in jail just happened to be another master thief, who for some reason hadn't broken out of the jail cell yet despite his capabilities.
So yes this movie did have some flaws, but overall I liked it. I can say it's the best Star Wars film I ever saw in theaters, but that because this is the first Star Wars film I ever saw in theaters. I'm not a Star Wars nerd, but I did enjoy this film.
