1.Casting someone as amazing a Max Von and hardly using him. Similarly not having R2 and Threepio more in the film (they are meant to be the chroniclers of the saga) they could have been deployed as decoys to BB8 for example.

2.The whole section on Han’s big ship was a waste of screen time it would have made more sense to have something like that happen on Jaku.

3.Making Jaku another sand planet. Either call it Tatooine or make differently desolate.

4.Having characters like Phasma and the people chasing Han in the film for a few scenes and then not doing much with them.

5.Having Ren take his mask off before that scene with Han. The reveal that the mask is essentially cosplay because he wants to copy his poweful grandfather who needed to wear a mask is a character note that should go with that scene.

6.The general cynicism of the whole film. The way it copies whole junks of the original just to jingle fan tassles was kind of insulting for such a well acted, directed and designed movie.

7.Leia wasn’t revealed to be Snoke in this film but she will be… she will be…
