1. I don't understand Starkiller Base. Is it a laser weapon or a hyperspace weapon? If it's a laser weapon, and lasers travel at the speed of light, wouldn't it take several years to reach another system? And how would they see the laser from another system instantly? And why do Star Wars bad guys keep making super-weapons that have glaring weak spots? Seems like they would win a lot more if they dumped their Sith Lords and picked up a few good architects and engineers.

2. Everyone wants Rey to be a Skywalker. That would be a horrible idea. Why do force users keep abandoning their children? I think a GREAT idea would be to make her the grand-daughter or daughter (its possible) of Palpatine. Makes sense if it turns out Jakku was one of the last stands of the Empire.

3. Why does Artoo conveniently wake up with the map at the end? That makes no sense whatsoever.

4. Why are the Resistance and the Republic two different entities? I thought the whole reason for the Rebellion was to restore the Republic.

5. The ability to hyperspace BEHIND shields?? That's just laziness on Jar Jar Abrams part.

Jar Jar Abrams. Best part of the post. :)
