Do a few searches on the internet, you’ll see a lot of people were confused about various things in TFA.That’s true but there are very few things in there can’t be explained or inferred and the rest are too important not to be brought up in VIII. Adam Driver recently said that there will be things in VIII that will make both movies make sense so I think a lot of your concerns/confusion will be alleviated.
As I’ve said before, if everything is cleared up in later films, then no problem. But a lot of people were saying “how R2 got the map is irrelevant.” If it’s never explained, then I think it’s an issue. I watched the movie three times, and I never once got the slightest hint that R2 had the map because he plugged into the Death Star’s computer, or that R2 woke up because of BB-8 asking him about the map.
I’ll admit I hate the in universe explanation but it’s still an explanation. If anything the burning question is why is Lor San Tekka on Jakku of all places? If Luke didn’t put Rey on Jakku things are going to get really convoluted.
On somewhat of a sidenote, I’m glad that you’re one of the few willing to wait before rendering complete judgement.
And honestly, it does seem weird to me that the Empire had a map to the original Jedi temple, and the New Republic never added this map to their records in 33 years of access to Imperial computers. But whatever…
So The New Republic had access to EVERY terminal/server/mainframe the Empire had? If not then it makes since as to why they didn’t as it would be luck of the draw due to the possibility those same terminals, servers or mainframes could have either been destroyed or fell into the hands of a remnant of The Empire which could or could not have turned into The First Order.
