That’s a huge plot hole in the movie. Overall, the movie wasn’t a bad popcorn flick but it was way overhyped!
There were a bunch of plot holes in the movie. I saw a list that someone compiled. My favorite was:
The entire planet is a junkyard with every ship stripped for salable parts, yet the Millennium Falcon starts right up?
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.
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.
