It's not about what you wanted. For the hero Luke to come out and be 25 again. He's not that character anymore and they tell you that the moment he gets the lightsaber. I mean, they do tell you that the title of the movie is not Luke.

And you want a positive development of a character? Rey letting go of her past. Poe becoming the leader (not hero) he is suppose to be. Finn not being ruled by his fear. Luke not defining himself by a mistake. Hux learning what materials First Order vehicles are made of.

I think the problem with you guys is that you want more Star Wars movies staring Luke. That continuation of RotJ where it is from his point of view. He's the Obi Wan character in that he is passing it on to the next generation. Same with Han and Leia. If you didn't get that in The Force Awakens then you guys are lost. None of these movies will ever be good to you because you aren't going to get that.

No, sorry, you couldn't be more wrong about me. I've never liked Luke.

Rey let go of her past? WHAT PAST?!?

Poe became a leader? Of what? There's nothing left.

Finn wasn't ruled by his fear? He started the movie off by trying to run like a coward again. What are you talking about? The only fear he has left to face is that toad who's fallen in love with him and trying to escape anymore of her awkward sexual harassment.

Luke never would have acted the way he did in this movie. It was completely at odds with his past character development and the astral projection scene was a complete disaster, also spitting in the face of established lore.

The thing that was holding Rey back was that she was looking for and waiting on her parents. She had that Harry Potter moment of wanting to see them. She let go of that when Kylo told her about herself. She got better after that.

There is a small group left. But anyway. It's not about becoming a leader of a thing, but a leader in person. The point is for them to rebuild the Rebellion. The entire movie had them drilling into Poe not to be a hero, but to be a leader. He learned that at the escape and it shows at the base.

Finn was ruled by his fear until he saw Phasma. He got over that fear when he looked at her and called himself "Rebel scum". And Rose kissed him because, to her, she was dead.

There was nothing wrong with the projection scene. They create new abilities all the time in the EU. You are talking about a character broken and 30 years older than the last time you saw him. A guy that took it upon himself decades later to train a dozen Force sensitives alone. A rookie Jedi Master. With no Jedi support to help him. He had no one to go to for guidance on the matter. It broke him when it didn't go right and he was told so.
