I personally love stuff like the freezing of the laser bolt.

I don’t have a problem with it. I thought it looked good on the screen. The problem many of us had was that Kylo suddenly doesn’t have any of these abilities in the last fight. The entire movie calls for him to kick Finn and Rey’s asses at the end, but you can see the story meetings from a couple years ago taking place on screen.

Producer: “Yeah, we’ve done some audience testing, and we think it’s really important to have the good guys win at the end of the movie.”

Some other asshole: “The good guys won at the end of the first Star Wars. And the bad guys won at the end of the second one. And the good guys won at the end of the third one. It would be like poetry and rhyme if the good guys win at the end of the TFA.”

Everyone else in the room: “Yeah!”

Skeptic: “But what about the rest of the story? How can Kylo possibly lose to these people?”

Writer/Director: “Hmm…I know, how about we injure him so he’s not as strong?”

(1 year later, still some issues with this rough cut)

Skeptic: “Still seems the ending is not quite right.”

Writer/Director: “Fuck it, we’ll just add in one more scene about Kylo’s training not being finished and be done with it.”
