BB-8 doing TOO DAMN MUCH... I draw the line at firing up an AT-ST out of left field.
Might be a little too much BB-8 - the machine gun coin bit in the jail was officially too much on the third viewing - but I had no problem with the AT-ST. He can repair, prime and I assume fly an X-Wing.

On one hand, didn't see that coming until a few seconds before, so that's great, on the other hand - who the **** was he, we learned pretty much nothing about him whatsoever.
They could have thrown us a bone on his backstory, knowing we'll never revisit it now. Clearly was present during the OT and PT, given his age. If he was a remote character out beyond the Uncharted Regions as some have speculated, he would have had no knowledge or interest in Vader. TLJ makes him out to be a Vader fanboy almost as much as Kylo.

- They made such a big deal out of the Knights of Ren in the first one, maybe they're saving them for the third, but I expected we'd learn something about them too.
I think we did - Luke tells Rey that Kylo burned the temple and 'vanished with a handful of students.' Didn't kill them. He took them. Why? For a minute I thought one of these kids was Rey, but apparently not. The vision of the Knights Rey sees in TFA in the rain was clearly not the past or the attack on the temple, but likely the future.
I think the end will be definitely Rey vs. Kylo, and Knights of Ren vs. Rey's New School Jedi.
