I have to disagree. The final scene was necessary because it gave us an idea of what direction the trilogy is going. The last scene was sorta weirdly filmed (with the helicopter shot) and all, and seemed to go on for 10-15 seconds too long, and Hamill could have said something, but overall, I was cool with it.

R2 coming back was super convenient (JJ even admitted to that, lol). They mentioned something like BB-8 talking to him the first time brought him out of the coma or something, but yeah.

And I have to disagree with that last part. Having the OT characters appear was incredibly necessary, as it is a sequel. It wouldn't make much sense if the sequel had no ties to the original.

Really, the only complaint I can agree with was that the Starkiller Base was too similar to the Death Star, and if it was worked around, it could have been left put completely. But it was super interesting and it allowed us to have a super gorgeous locale, so I was fine with it.

My only real gripe with the movie was the fact that the First Order destroyed the capital of the New Republic, and no one seemed to care. Like, we got a disappointed look from Han, and that was it lol.
