This movie had its flaws (characters could be a little more developed), but some of you are being way too harsh. Don’t get me wrong - I appreciate a good lively discussion. But it’s like some people want to cut it apart in whatever way they can.

FWIW, I enjoyed the movie, even more so on my second viewing. I do wonder what the original cut would have been, and if I would have liked it more. But we got a good Star Wars movie, which captures the spirit of the original Star Wars better than any movie has in a long time.

I haven’t really seen much mention of this, but this movie really brings back the Force as a tool for the everyman, not just the members of the midichlorian club. Chirrut isn’t a Jedi, but the Force “flows through him” and “controls his actions.” I bet this is a big part of the Star Wars philosophy that Disney wants to project - and I have absolutely no problem with that.
