Which of the following scenes infuriated you the most?

D. All of the above


although the most ridiculous scene to grace a movie was flying space leia...I can't wait for this to be spoofed sometime soon.

- Rose knocking Finn out of the way of the cannon which put both of their lives and the lives of everyone in the resistance in danger

I don't think the danger for the resistance changed because of her actions. She did compound Finn's mistake by destroying both of their crafts and putting herself unnecessarily in danger. They both could have easily died if not for their plot armor.

I'm more troubled by the mixed message that Holdo's suicide is a noble sacrifice and Finn's attempted sacrifice was just toxic masculinity. Insubordination helps smooth it over a bit but not really.

I don't know how much of Johnson's subversive themes will go forward into episode IX so I doubt I will get to see how Johnson would reconcile those conflicting notions of sacrifice. It is a thematic flaw in a film that addressed many interesting "assumptions" about the Star Wars universe.

On a side note, I want to know where the money is coming from to pay the arms dealers for all this very expensive equipment that gets destroyed in every film. Both sides seem have an endless supply and treat everything, including planets and their resources as disposable. WTF.

Several of them, so I'll put them in descending order of irritation:

Rey and Snoke - There's one movie to go, so I'm hoping there's a twist in it regarding Rey's backstory, but I was annoyed that it wasn't developed any further in this film and that RJ just wrote it off with a "you're nobody with nobody parents". Same applies to Snoke. The way Ren killed him was actually cool, but the film did nothing to develop the character or his backstory.

Prank call - it was just infantile and not even funny.

Phasma - shouldn't have even been in the film given she was apparently thrown into a trash compactor on a base that was subsequently destroyed in short order.

Casino planet (Canto Bight) and mutiny - Totally unnecessary sub-plot. Slicer could have simply been a prisoner on the Republic cruiser, offered freedom if he helped. Or, just have Holdo tell Poe the plan from the outset, then the whole mutiny sub-plot goes away.

Luke's death - Not really necessary.

The rest were OK. I can live with them.

Great list. The Mary Poppins Scene (nice one!) will go down in infamy. I would add:

- Whatever Rose said to Finn before she croaked; some horribly, cringe-inducing tripe about love that, in that moment, felt like a Family Guy parody
- Adam Driver's face. The guy can not emote to save his life. One expression only. He and Keanu might be brothers.
- The shirtless Adam Driver scene. Vital to the story.
- The sexual innuendo in the scene with that alien in the aviator shades talking about the code-breaker guy. She says something like, "Oh, he's good at everything."
- That genius Kylo Ren couldn't figure out that Luke wasn't actually there after the pummeling and barrage of laser beams
- We've seen how powerful the Force is. Yet there are battles where they don't use it to its full effect because the fight would be too easy. Selective usage to buoy the drama I guess.
- Luke's storyline has been overcooked a thousand times. This is the trite "curmudgeonly retired man has to be persuaded to do ONE LAST JOB."
- Did I mention Adam Driver?
- Benicio Del Toro in Star Wars? Seriously?
- I love Laura Dern, but she was miscast. She doesn't exactly project authority. Judi Dench would have smoked that part.

It felt like a series of ever increasing 'jump the shark' moments right from the word go.

It started off on a poor note with the prank call. I mean using a "Your momma" joke essentially, in a SW franchise?? If that was a jump the shark moment then the bit with Leia turning into Superwoman was like a backflip or somersault over the shark. And then by the time it got to the Casino Planet I was scratching my head so much I almost rubbed my scalp away. I kept expecting James Bond to turn up in that scene. Like, seriously, you wouldn't have aliens in a James Bond franchise, and people dressed in tuxedos at a casino was the equivalent for Star Wars.

Didn't mind the prank call as a cheeky ruse to prevent Hux giving a "fire" order. The problem I had was that Hux would take the call at all. His orders were to wipe the last of the rebel fleet out of the sky. The movie made it clear that there were no more rebels, so you don't need to interrogate anybody to find more bases. Just wipe them out.

I didn't like Luke's complaining because I felt like every scene with Luke and Rey for the first half of the movie was the same scene. "Help me!" "Go away!" ad nauseum. It's bad writing. Scene 1 makes Scene 2 happen with building urgency. If Scene 2 is Scene 1 again, one of those scenes is pointless.

I bought Luke's moment of fear. I thought it was a great illustration of how one *tiny* moment of weakness can be ruinous. Luke isn't immune to lapses of judgement and so I didn't think that was a problem. Luke's characterisation was mishandled, but not because of that.

Milking scene -didn't care.

I prefer Rey with no "special" parents. I'm tired of characters in movies all being directly related (Sandman in Spiderman 3, for instance).

Holdo's drove me nuts. She should have either told Poe the plan or told him, "You're a soldier, I'm the general, you do your job and I'll worry about mine". Either way, Poe still could have gone off half-cocked. In fact, it would have highlighted the problems of his impulsiveness *more* if Holdo was a good leader, but just too patient for Poe's liking.

Everything about the Casino Planet plotline and Rose's superfluous character were aggravating. Rose's idiot move at the end deprived a brilliant character arc for Finn: coward to martyr.

Snoke was boring. I don't miss him. It was a great scene, too, which the movie needed more of.

Phasma was boring, too.

I prefer Luke as the main character. I'm sorry he's dead. That said, it was epic. If they had to kill him, they did it well.

Pretty much everything about Luke. It's like they made up a completely different character, he wasn't like the Luke character in any way. They ruined him. It would have been better if they had never even had him in the films and left him back at Jedi. Incredibly disappointed. To me, whoever came up with this plot was an idiot.
