In regards to 1, eh… I actually kinda wish he’d fully committed to the subversion and had Kylo turn to the Light Side as a kind of “poetic” bookend to Anakin (making the third film one about his redemption; this would also allow us either to learn more about Snoke OR turn Hux into the villain, which I would prefer over what Abrams did to him).
As for 2, when Rose goes “are those…?” I was on the edge of my seat, tapping my friend’s shoulder thinking we were about to see podracers (which is funny because I still really hated The Phantom Menace at that time) and was definitely disappointed when it turned out to be giant cats.
The Last Jedi is my favorite Star Wars film. I also happen to think it’s the best of the entire series. But I dare not speak of this much on the interwebz because Star Wars fans are, as we all know, tame and not given to strong opinions.
The main problem with TLJ is it completely destroyed any potential plot moving forward. That’s why RoS is the way it is; they had to rebuild the story before starting the conclusion.
