What happened to Jedi training? These new kids just pick up light sabers and know how to work them? Shouldn't be called episode 7 more like new Star Wars with no training.

I thought R2D2 could only be rebooted upon return of the missing map section.
I'll still hold off on voicing an opinion until it's clear going in that this thread contains spoilers.

she can move objects with her mind and you question her pilot credentials?
Yep, that's the one, I have already forgotten their names, says much about the movie. Look at Anakin Skywalker and all the training he had and Luke, I am not buying into it. The humour was poor too. Lucas should've done this movie.strapped for cash said:gel said:What about Ren being able to fly the Millenium Falcon then? It's just ********!
Do you mean Rey?
If so, this again isn't too great a stretch, since Rey's almost certainly a Skywalker, and both Luke and Anakin were accomplished pilots before starting their Jedi training.
I was more concerned that Rey and Finn stumbled upon the Falcon, which allowed Rey to meet her father or uncle, who in turn enabled Rey and Finn to link up with the Resistance.
The original Star Wars film relied on similarly absurd coincidences. It's implausible that R2D2 would crash on Luke's home planet, before being sold to Luke's uncle, setting the whole saga in motion.
Still, these character unions and plot devices were lazy and clumsy. I'm certain I could have found a more convincing way to move the narrative forward, given a little time to think about it.
My other complaint is that I would have liked to spend more time with the characters, since the film rushed from action sequence to action sequence, presumably through fear of audience boredom if more than ten minutes passed without laser fire. I liked Ridley's character (and her performance was solid; not that Star Wars is the greatest test of one's acting chops). The potential for genuine pathos was squandered here, while the film's emotional beats were too heavily derived from familiarity with established characters. I'm hoping Disney, Johnson, and Kasdan (if he's still involved) will slow things down next time and pay greater attention to character development.
Oh, and the sequence after the Falcon was captured, when the cast was chased by a CGI monster, should have been ditched completely.
