Because she's the best diplomat/general in the resistance? She was important before ANH.

Because the droid doesn't have human tendencies that can be exploited through torture. The droid will lock that up and make the 1st order take it apart if they find it.
No kidding.
Its entertainment, not a college course assignment.
Rey had some training with a staff, clearly, after beating the hell out of those guys who tried to take the droid, and she was beginning to discover her abilities. Plus, Ren's saber was far from perfect, whereas she was using Luke's.
Also, did you guys know James Bond was the mind tricked Storm Trooper?
I thought this movie was very similar to Episode IV, in many ways, and far superior to the prequels.
It was good. Right up there with A New Hope and Empire. Dialogue and new characters were what made it good. Mixed in old characters well and laid things out foe the next 2 installments. Like that JJ used sets, models and costumes versus just CGI. Had an authentic feel. Fun movie that makes you want more. My kids (13 and 11) loved it and we're on the edge of their seats several times during the film and are still talking about it hours later. Good 1st attempt by JJ... looking forward to the rest of the films.
That's what they do in
SW movies when first shown, and part of the fun. If you didn't like it you should have waited to go see it.
Is JJ making these movies for the foreseeable future?
Edit, never mind I got to millah's post.
Um, sorry but you're way off. Finn did lose the fight but not until he basically went toe to toe with a fully trained Jedi knight or equivalent, and The Rey situation, they both have access to the force. Why would her access to it trump his? I'm not reaching at all. If you can't see these flaws, you're just blinded by your fandom.

Daisey Ridley is one of those chicks that are hotter when not dressed up. I thought she was hot as hell in the movie. Not as much when all dolled up. She is a very natural beautiful woman.
Ren is not even close to a fully trained jedi knight. Finn also has battle training and experience...though I can give you that one more than Rey. Rey was a badass.
Why would they pick someone else to direct episode 8?
I smell a disaster, and I may not go see it in the theater.

Toe to toe? He got whooped by the storm trooper and it took all of 2 spats with Ren and he was done. That's not toe to toe.
Did you smell a disaster when Irvin Kershner did The Empire Strikes Back?
Did you smell a disaster when Richard Marquand did Return of the Jedi?
I was four years old when Empire was released, so no. As for Jedi, it was the first Star Wars movie that I saw in the theater and, until the prequels came out, it was my least favorite.
The Empire/First Order has to stop building structures with such design flaws.
Why did R2-D2 suddenly "wake up?"
Where did the map come from? Who created it? The old guy that looked like Obi-Wan? Luke because he wanted to be found? Or, somebody else? If so, why not ask that person where Luke is?
Did Kylo, Phasma, and the other bad guy leader (who was made to mimic Hitler) get off the Starkiller?
Why was Finn in battle as a storm trooper when he was supposed to work in the sanitation department?
How were Han and Chewbacca "in the right place at the right time" to capture the Millenium Falcon?

[QUOTE="The_Joker13, post: 1571042,
. Then the light saber fight scene with Kylo, the dude is trained to fight with a light saber and two people with zero light saber experience are able to not only fight him effectively but the chick actually defeats him. I know he was injured but that shouldn't off set their zero saber experience. The plot of the movie just felt extremely lazy and it felt like they just took a new hope and threw in a few wrinkles. What I did like were the characters, especially Finn. I would say it is much better than episodes 1-3, but not better than 4-7. Overall I enjoyed the movie and will watch it many more times.[/QUOTE]
Kylo was a mental wreck at that point and to be effective with the force you have to "clear your mind, Luke" and focus. He was anything but focused after killing his father and taking a blaster bolt to the ribs. Just my 2 bits.

The Empire/First Order has to stop building structures with such design flaws.- I have no idea but it did seem fairly easy
Why did R2-D2 suddenly "wake up?"- I'm guessing because Rey finally arrived on the planet(Luke's daughter maybe)
Where did the map come from? Who created it? The old guy that looked like Obi-Wan? Luke because he wanted to be found? Or, somebody else? If so, why not ask that person where Luke is? No idea
Did Kylo, Phasma, and the other bad guy leader (who was made to mimic Hitler) get off the Starkiller? Probably
Why was Finn in battle as a storm trooper when he was supposed to work in the sanitation department? maybe he got promoted
How were Han and Chewbacca "in the right place at the right time" to capture the Millenium Falcon? They said they were tracking it some how

These are all valid points, like I said before, you have to be willing to overlook some glaring plot holes in most movies. This Star Wars movie had way to many IMO. Maybe it's because I'm a fanboy and had big expectations.
I think it stems from the age you were when you saw the others because there are glaring weaknesses in those as well.
Yes and no. Sith's use the force through passion, anger, and pain. Kylo Ren is young and inexperienced and needs to learn to harness his anger.
Your second point is very good, though.
The plot hole he speaks of wasn't really a plot hole. They had no idea that R2 had the other half of the map.
Did you notice him hitting his wound? He was doing that to channel more power through his own pain. Problem with that guy is that he's conflicted as hell. Way too much emotion with that guy. Vader and the Palpatine always kept their cool, and controlled that rage though.
Yes, I saw him doing that. I believe that's something that Darth Bane did with force rage as well. Somewhat good for short bursts of aggression, but not sustainable.
Hey look! Didn't know this website supported this!
Anyway, while your strategy is good, it ignores personal feelings for the droid. If it were a dog, would you do the same thing? Not to say they wouldn't have done that, but I can see how they wouldn't even think of leaving the droid for dead.

I'm willing to chalk most of those to "I'm not going to reveal everything in the first movie", but they are questions that could use some answers. Or not, most of those really don't have an essential role to the main plot of the film. They could also be explained in the books and comics that came out to set up this movie. I have not read those so I do not know, but they are considered canon.
I think their problem is they use Womp Rats as a unit of measurement. If they are going to keep doing that, then I think they should build things slightly smaller than a Womp Rat.
Well, they also use a unit of distance to measure time so there's that as well.
If I had to rank them now, it would be (1) Empire, then a gap to (2) Star Wars and (3) The Force Awakens (but I think those two are almost interchangeable), then a big gap to (4) Revenge of the Sith and (5) Return of the Jedi and then a huge gap to (6) Attack of the Clones and (7) The Phantom Menace.
I can go with this....re-watched Empire for the first time in about 10 years and it's definitely the best...to me. I believe that was the only episode in 1-6 that wasn't directed by Lucas.
Didn't know that....I can still blame Lucas for the Ewoks right?

I thought the movie was really good.
My biggest issue was the casting of Kylo Ren. This is, I assume, the primary antagonist for these three movies, the big scary bad guy.
Then he takes off his helmet and he's an Andy Samberg-looking dork. Seriously? The guy is a dork, not a badass.
Then he gets mad and goes all Space Balls Rick Moranis on computer equipment.

Well you can blame the Motion Picture Association of America. Lucas wanted a full out Wookie warfare, but the MPAA wanted something cuter to get the rating down from a PG-13 to PG for broader audience appeal.
Now I'm really sad......that would have elevated ROTJ to the top of the heap of Star Wars films.
