Terrible. The saga ended in 1983 for me

That’s not a plot hole. That’s set up for things to come. It’s obvious that she’s got holes in her memory, and that she’s been on that island with Luke, so it’s entirely possible that she’s already been trained in the Force and forgot, either from having her mind wiped or through trauma. Just look at the kids in the prequels being taught the Force. She was older than that when she was ditched on Jakku.

Right, her predictable omnicompetence (John Nolte’s word) is a big part of why the movie is a total snoozefest.

That’s not a plothole, either. The ONE ship shown getting stripped for sellable parts was a wrecked Star Destroyer which couldn’t possibly be repaired. Just because you’re a scavenger, that doesn’t mean you scavenge working vehicles, which is ridiculous. That’s like saying because you work in a junkyard you’ll take your working car and strip it for parts.

Lucas was too much in love with CG to worry about handling actors.

I didn't care for "Return of the Jedi". I thought it jumped the shark there.

Nothing that followed it was even worth seeing. Utter garbage meant for little kiddies.

"That’s a huge plot hole in the movie. Overall, the movie wasn’t a bad popcorn flick but it was way overhyped!"

The movie was boring, predictable and quite thin on story line.
Frankly, it was a waste of time and money.
(To be honest, I was "required" to see it but I didn't really want to.)
I knew what it was going to be like.
I don't blame Harrison Ford for wanting to be killed off.

It’s not just ESPN.

The Disney Channel is a sewage pipeline right into your house.
