@recycled: Are you new to the internet? Because if you aren't surely you know the risk of spoilers. If you don't want spoilers dont come on the internet period. Doesn't matter what you are going to be looking for there's ALWAYS the possibility of things being spoiled. If you didn't know, then now you do. Is it fair? Nope, but you have to deal with it nevertheless.

I watched, it I don't remember the part described here.

"One crew member seemingly becomes possessed by, uh, something--and then it's never mentioned again"

What's that referring to?

Also why did luke leave a map behind if he never wanted to be found and went to the island to die? Makes literally no sense.

@3D3: I have no desire to see it again either.

Oh please, a Han Solo Funeral would have destroyed the pace of the movie, but the bullshit casino planet didnt? Get the **** out of here with that non sense.

@jabardas: came here to say this, but you've already saved me the time! Except for writing out this post, which is inevitably longer than if I had just went ahead and shared what you already said... which... well clearly that didn't happen because im still typing and wasting my own time.

Maybe when a plot point doesn't make sense in your movie, but is clearly intended to be a big keystone in the current state of the galaxy.. just maybe you might need to change your movie script, or maybe disney needs to ... oh... I don't know, actually come up with an overarching narrative instead of leaving to be passed off to the hands of different directors.

Gamespot had to title this with leading click bait not mentioning the actual game, probably because very few people care... I hate click bait shit like this.

@vncgregory: I actually agree with you but I think I can offer some insight on why people do this. Myself included, I run a youtube channel in which I do a lot of stuff, but one of them is reviewing games. Its actually super hard to cut down information when you make a video because you want to be thorough BUT as you rightly say brevity is good. Im trying to apply that to myself but its pretty hard, at least for me.

Its one of those saying that perfection isn't figuring out what to add to improve it, its about what you take away to get to the essentials.

So yeah, gamespot reviewers are "professional" reviewers and should already know how to do that, im not defending them at all, but that's my guess on why videos are indepth, essentially for completeness sake.

Looking from the comments, its clear that people don't understand cohesive story telling, and what people are actually mad about. This film does nothing to payoff TFA. None of it was earned. Wanna kill Snoke? Okay, but who cares, im not invested in him so in that big twist no one feels anything emotional with it. Oh yay... you killed your master... uh... I guess that's cool, but no one knew who Snoke was so there wasn't any connection... despite his build up, a face scarred ripe with backstory no one cares. It feels like in order to care about this new sequel trilogy we gotta go to the books and other extraneous material.

Rey's parents are nobody... okay cool, so why was it such a point of contention in TFA and especially after the higher ups, teasing it over and over and over. This trilogy has no direction because its has different directors each who, factually, don't care about the previous films in the story. Abrams started it fine, then we get TLJ, where clearly, we know that Rian Johnson doesn't give a shit about any of it. Now we're going back to Abrams, and Rian Johnson says he doesn't know what's going to happen.

You can make up these justifications in your mind, but its 100% true that there is no cohesive direction with story. Rian Johnson even says that he has no idea where episode 9 is going. At all. If you don't understand how that's a HUGE fucking problem, then i feel legitimate pity for you and your lack of understanding competent storytelling.
