I think that reviewer pretty much hit the nail on the goddamn head. Granted, I saw this movie under the influence of LSD, so my opinion might be somewhat warped by the effects of the drug, but if anything my ingrained red pill teachings made certain things stick out like a sore thumb:

-How has every last trace of the Empire not been wiped clean from the galaxy, akin to what Germany did to all Nazi-related paraphernalia after World War II? That, and it seemed like the Empire was on it’s deathbed at the end of Episode VI, but I digress…

-Han Solo and Leia Organa’s relationship and presumed marriage was a complete disaster, it was like a sci-fi version of the “free love” 1960s relationships most of our parents went through that ended in divorce (end-result of hypergamy)

-I can rationalize Rey being a powerful Jedi as Ren seems to be just as strong (he was able to hold that laser blast in place at the beginning of the film), I think she seemed to “accidentally” discover that she can use a Jedi mind trick in that one scene, HOWEVER that above all else shouted feminism at me because I interpreted it as the script saying: “Look, you don’t have to be stuck with a second-rate man (stormtrooper), if you’re unhappy then tell him to leave and HE WILL! Just wait long enough and a man like Finn might come along to give you the tingles you desire”

-The slicing and dicing of Han Solo was a disgrace to his character, the Corellian swashbuckler we all know and love would’ve gone-out with a BANG, not a whimper

-Kylo Ren is pathetic, what are his motivations? He wants to be like his grandfather? Why? He’s a coward, using his mask to intimidate others whereas Vader actually REQUIRED his mask to survive; true Sith do not cower behind masks

-Supreme Leader Snoke sucks, he’s just a lame version of Emperor Palpatine… I feel like both Snoke and Ren are knock-offs of the better characters that came before them

-Why does it seem like EVERY member of the First Order are sniveling white manginas? It’s almost as if they’re some kind of white supremacist movement

-I’m hoping that Rey actually turns-out to be the daughter of Han and Leia because in the Expanded Universe the couple have twins (one Jedi and another Sith), although that would be pretty similar to the whole Luke/Leia twin thing

I was disappointed because I’ve seen some of Abrams’ other movies and they are usually pretty entertaining, but this one bothered me the whole way through; I say just stick to what the novels and comic books from the Expanded Universe created over several decades post-Episode VI, I’m actually reading the Dark Horse graphic novels right now and they do the material justice in a more realistic manner:

LSD is still a thing? I haven’t seen any since those two guys got busted in that old missile silo in Kansas in the late 90’s.

Darknet baby darknet is the word.

Oh s~~~, I just broke the rule of Fight club.

Actions have consequences and consequences have prices. Cause and effect at work.
