I didn’t like the lack of info about what the Resistance and First Order were to the Rebellion & Empire and the current ‘lay of the land’ as it is since the 30+ years since Return Of The Jedi. Some info in the crawl or some exposition dialogue would have been useful and welcome.

Also didn’t like that Chewy walks past and ignores Leia after arriving back from the mission on which Han has just died, so Leia can meet and greet Rey - it just jarred, almost JarJar-ed (I’m sorry!)

A clearer explanation of what planets were blown up by the Starkiller Base would’ve been good too - some people thought it was Coruscant or Chandrilla - it may have given it more of an emotional impact if we’d known that Hosnian Prime was the current Capital Of the New Republic and was also where the Fleet was too…

Other than that I’m pretty good, really enjoyed it 😃

I had to go here to find some of this stuff out - it should’ve really been in the movie itself:-
