The anti-SJW shit seemed to have died down recently. The main complaints I hear the most now are about the rehashed plot points, Rey being too good at stuff, and Kylo being a flawed character.

The former is the only legit flaw of the movie, I think.

It's full of holes and feels a bit rushed. Empire Strikes Back is closer to perfection, with a story that will move anyone and at the end will leave everyone hungering for more without even being a cliffhanger (Han was pretty much killed).

TFA was actually a great satire of it.
Characters with no motivation going out on great, unrealistic adventures for no good reason, traumatic pasts that involve dead parents, super weapons that are just too big to be believed, so on and so forth.
The difference is that ANH takes itself seriously while TFA realizes it's a joke and doubles down on the quips to really sell that it's satire.

It's close, but I feel like the trench run was executed sloppily. All the fighters look the same, I don't know how many of them are, and it drags on for way, way too long.

What's the point of making him a brainwashed child soldier if he's just going to break his programming so easily?
Going off the earlier concepts, we didn't have the stormtroopers as brainwashed child soldiers. They were just regular people who signed up for work, and then found out the work wasn't what they signed on for.
We even had some EU books about this, but those are non-canon now because we need to brainwash child soldiers except the brainwashing does nothing.

Like I said, TFA is satire of ANH.
Luke's family oh-so conveniently is killed just so he can go on big adventures. Great lessons you're teaching the youth Lucas!
Meantime we have Abrams giving Rey this background of parents who abandoned her for money, like Lucas did for star wars.

TFA is actually a brilliant movie.
>>
>>67860203
>>brainwashed child soldier breaks his programing for unexplained reasons
How about death of a friend I think, it might just be some guy but he reacted very strongly to that death and not wanting be a murderer? Soon as they got Po they felt the need to exterminate everyone in the village. It's pretty easy to find something objectionable about this.

I can't tell if you're not paying attention or a literal sociopath
>>
>>67860203
>the brainwashing does nothing
As far as we know, it worked for literally every single other Stormtrooper. It's not unrealistic to think they fucked up one time.
>we didn't have the stormtroopers as brainwashed child soldiers. They were just regular people who signed up for work
None of the films state that. Fuck, they may have all even been clones.
>>
>>67860285
>Luke's family oh-so conveniently is killed just so he can go on big adventures.
It wasn't far-fetched considering it's been building and was going to happen before we even met Luke. The family bought the droids as were meeting Luke before we get to know him.

Come on now.
Clones stopped being produced by Kamino during the post-war period after episode III. The Stormtroopers in the original trilogy are all regular men and women from all walks of life across the empire.
The Stormtroopers of the First Order meanwhile, are brainwashed children they abducted from various places because the needed unquestioning soldiers and there was something wrong with using clones. I forget exactly what, but it was probably that they weren't dark enough for the Fourth Space Reich to use.

also, Jango/the clones actor is Maui.

that's because Lucas didn't even have just what the Clone Wars were locked down when they added that line into ANH.
What we do see is non-clone officers and different voices for the storm troopers. What this means is that not everyone is a clone, implying clones aren't being produced in the same volume (if at all) that they were in the prequels.
This is going purely off what the movies contain.
If you want to step into the hell that is the EU, we have explicit confirmation of this.
