I forgot to mention one part of the structure that blew my mind it was so absurd.

So when Chewie, Finn, and Han are looking for Rey and running around in Starkiller base, which is presumably enormous, and of which there is zero indication that they’ve memorized the complete blueprint/layout of, they suddenly spot her across this huge chasm. SECONDS LATER, they are IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HER. THE BASE IS THE SIZE OF A SMALL CONTINENT.

Like, I know we cut the full time of them running through this or that corridor because it would be boring, that’s fine, but in this insanely huge base, how the fuck did they find the EXACT room she was in AT ALL?

No rationalizations, please. Did I miss some detail? Because this was immediately absurd to me as I watched. Like how did they even know how to get to that area across this freaking chasm, much less to orient themselves well enough to arrive at her exact level and specific room? Without a homing transponder of some sort, in real life they would be running around for potentially hours trying to connect with her location, especially since she’d be on the move at the same time.

Are we going to just rationalize this as a “the Force guided their path” moment? Ugh. I’d assume it was the Force that led the trio to see her across the chasm, sure. But the sheer amount of area and corridors to traverse and rooms to check - without being obstructed, caught, hopelessly lost, or alarms being raised either - that’s a tendon-snapping stretch.
