I think THAT was within acceptable range of how someone might react emotionally, especially someone like her, but they could have pushed this further.  Make her the truly cynical person and make him the guy who struggles to do what must be done.  I know they wanted to show the republic in another light but...  He he started off cold blooded and had another speedy turnaround.I know what you mean about the obstacles now you mention them, but I think it's a method that's gaining increasing use in movies re: movies like the avengers.  It helps every character to shine and allows an audience to watch a complex series of events unfold in a linear fashion.One thing that same reviewer I mentioned complained about was (MINOR SPOILERS):The planetary shield as an obstacle.  I didn't personally have a problem with it because as far as I was aware, they exist and are quite a standard imperial technology, blocking ships, damage and communications.  So, much like expanding on the lore of Mon Calamari admirals (Showing battle through the glass floor), which kind of ties in with their 3 dimensional space combat way of thinking), I liked it.It was tricky, trying to introduce unique characters in x amount of time.  Like I said, I think they tried to make them work together avengers style, but the difference is, each avenger was already well known or already had their own origin movies.The villain was unprofessional, which I believe reflects the reason he hit the 'ceiling' and couldn't get to where he wanted.  I thought he presented well as an example of what happens when the weak try to climb the ladder or gain recognition in an empire that demands strength.  I wonder too though if maybe he was made bumbling JUST so the audience could dislike him and to also make people cheer when other imperials we know toyed with him.Regarding the non-jedi.  There's been a lot of lore in the universe regarding non-jedi who use the force.  The other thing they more solidly canonised in the lore:(MINOR SPOILER):  Battle Meditation Shayuri!  Battle Meditation!  (Or maybe resistance?  That's how I see resistance working in my mind, though I know Greenkarl views it more as an actual physical resilience (Kylo Ren after getting shot by chewie maybe), either way is fine).  When he used that power, whichever it was, I lost it with excitement.  And there were dark-troopers too!  Oh my god!  I think making him hang out at the temple for so long as what his friend implies is a jedi wannabe justified his abilities to me.  The fact that his friend almost makes fun of him about it, ahhh, simple but effective foreshadowing there.  They leave the possibilities as to how he became so strong to fans to argue about I think.  All i'd say is that hanging about an ancient jedi temple wouldn't work against you in trying to come as close to being a jedi as possible.  You wouldn't know how many old force ghosts were either directly or indirectly teaching him.The disk cassettes are a part of the lore.  The claw machine, well...Having a security setup where someone has to be at the claw, before another can access the location of the data is a high security measure which I can believe imperials might have in place.  For them, because they're known to have efficient troops, having a little extra security for all the empires valuable secrets that slows their delivery down a little is probably not something they're worried about.Hmm, though i pretty much agreed with you on most things, i still loved the movie....  I got caught up in all the lore expansion I think.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
