This is my personal opinion, but might provide solid pinpoints in term of where me and my friend lose interest in the story - and therefore probably a lot of other people that find TFA boring or lacking in any way. I’ve seen TFA six times in total now, and fell asleep twice at the very same segment.

The faulty scene is when they arrive at Takodana (?). The movie just crushes down. It drags, it gets boring - we meet an uninventful Yoda-like creature, we are introduced to a very lacking and boring battle scene. And Rey runs 10 miles into the forest like some bad scene from a Disney movie.

I don’t what can be done to improve this as I’m never going to tackle this with a fanedit myself (lack of interest), but this is where me and my Star Wars geek friend lose all interest in the movie, and start bashing it for faults.
