Nobody thought to ask how they managed to cut out a massive slice of a planet, and still have pristine forests and mountains without polluting and somehow store a sun inside?

Don't care. it's still better than rogue one

For the excitement of a sequel to the films I've seen alone, seeing it was better than seeing Rogue One. I'd love to be a kid now and in about a decade, starting with Episode 1 and going from there. Even watching Rogue 1 after watching Episode 3. Then again, for the 1st time since the war life for kids these days is worse than it was for us older generation so I'll stick.
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

Nobody knows. It would make sense if it actually was Snoke that turned against Luke and took his class with him.

I think so, yes.

What works really well:

-The general plot/structure, especially the first act. The first 30-45 mins are a great reintroduction to the world.
-Rey's character is fantastic, and Daisy Ridley plays her part perfectly.
-Poe and Finn's escape from the First Order is so much fun.
-BB-8 is the best droid they've ever done.
-Kylo Ren is an awesome villain, and Adam Driver kills it.
-The action sequences are awesome, all of 'em.

Hmm. Just reading now that Snoke is much younger than I thought he was. My impression was of an ancient being, but I'm getting set straight on that now over on wookiepedia.

He is old enough to have been around to see the empire rise and fall. An seems to have some connection to Vader and the emperor.

That's what he says in the force awakens novel. Let's see is he lying or not.

This. And Pablo Hidalgo confirmed he's not a Sith. So we also know that about him. Neither Snoke nor Ren are Sith. So whatever possible connection to Vader/Palpatine there may be, it isn't that.
