If Finn and Rose were able to fly off to the casino and come back with a hacker, was there any reason why someone else couldn’t have flown off to pick up a fuel tanker or something?

One of Many Many Many plot holes.

Such a ship is probably well guarded and requires more than two people to pilot. And you think the First Order is going to just sit there and watch the Resistance refuel?

You are you telling me the resistance has no refueling ships anywhere they can reach out to? I would also be assuming refueling would be done while flying (much like it can be done here on earth) so the FO would be able to do as much about the refueling ship as they were able to do to the other ships.

Nobody answered their distress call. Who was going to refuel them? Robot Chicken notwithstanding, we’ve never seen a gas station in Star Wars.

Where were they going to refuel if the First Order hadn’t tracked them through hyperspace? Could someone have gone there to pick something up? I guess not.

Another thing that I thought strange was why the fleet didn’t just split up? Only one First Order ship was tracking them so if they all went their separate ways then surely most would have escaped?

And the ships that ran out of fuel and got destroyed… was any effort made to transfer their crews to the bigger ship via shuttles or something? Why didn’t the first ship to run out of fuel do the kamikaze lightspeed trick?

Well the big ships all seemed to go at the same speed, so I wondered why a big ship with lots of fuel couldn’t come out of lightspeed a bit ahead of the resistance fleet, wait for them to catch up a bit, then use smaller/faster ships to ferry fuel across. Or something.

Seems a reasonable guess. But why does that matter?

If Finn and Rose were able to fly off to the casino and come back with a hacker, was there any reason why someone else couldn’t have flown off to pick up a fuel tanker or something?

I hated this film, mostly because of the way Luke was handled but pretty much everything else was bad too. Such a shame, I really liked TFA.

4. Then Luke somehow conveniently finds part of Leia’s message while cleaning R2

Of your complaints, this is the only one that is a plot convenience. Having one or two of these at the beginning of a story is very standard. The audience usually has no problem with it as long as the storyteller doesn’t make it obviously absurd. The idea to have Luke clean dirt out of R2 and then jar the message out of his memory is a very subtle way to get the story started.

I always thought that R2 had intentionally played the snippet of Leia’s message as a way to trick Luke into removing the restraining bolt?

I loved it! Then the following day as I thought it over, I started to find the lack of originality a bit bothering and began to nit pick as many have done here. So, I saw it again a couple of days later and was delighted to find that none of that stuff bothered me in the slightest while I was watching it and I loved it just as much the second time.

The film is not perfect and shows us very little that we haven’t seen before, but I found it thoroughly entertaining none the less. I loved the new characters (Snoke being a possible exception, not sure about him yet) and am very excited about seeing the next chapter. I just hope for some slightly more courageous writing for episode 8.

Hi Harmy, please can I get a pm for this too?

Hello!

This looks fantastic! Is anyone able to direct me to where I may be able to get hold of the PAL DVD9 version please?
