I cringe even thinking about "FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THE JEDI ARE EVIL!!!!!!"

And I think that belongs in a different movie. Like, one that takes place before The Force Awakens even. But trying to get mileage out of "The Resistance isn't resisting here and it should be" isn't very effective in a film where 75% of its 2 and a half hour run time is literally the Resistance being hunted down and killed.

Plus, Rose's desired solution to addressing the problems on Canto Bright by "putting a whole fist through the planet" (which she and Finn at least do to the city) are also pretty out of place in a film where it's all about redefining the meaning of heroism and, in Rose's words, "Not destroying what you hate, but saving what you love."
