However, I knew it was happening because I know Ford's history with wanting Solo to die to begin with.

I'd go one step further. It went over the story beats of the entire original trilogy, New Hope, Empire and Jedi. I'll also agree that the pace was rather quick.
Rey Skywalker, she's Luke's daughter and no one can tell me any different!

Her being his daughter makes more sense than her being Kylo's sister.
I can agree with the very fast pacing but I think it was sort of necessary for how much they needed to do within 138 minutes. I don't think the movies suffered for the pace, however. Does fast pace=negative?

It does when serious scenes don't get any room to breathe and be taken in because the movie is already jumping ahead to the next thing. Empire's scenes of Luke's training are spread out and build fantastic atmosphere as a result. In this movie Rey becomes a huge badass with no training at all.

Why do people keep saying that Rey becomes a huge badass out of nowhere? Ren was still super green and wounded while both Fin and Rey clearly had no idea what the heck they were doing with the lightsaber and just using it like a club. Rey at the very least knew how to use a staff and could semi translate that into using it but I thought it was pretty clear that she just went ham on him after her force focus, there was zero skill in what she was doing, just straight wailing and hoping for the best to avenge her friend.
However, to play devil's advocate a little bit, Rey is more than likely a Skywalker I'd say and that whole blood line is gifted with the force.

I agree with legend. She is no greenhorn like Anakin or Luke when it comes to life. She actually had to fight to survive and was never coddled. She learned how to use weapons at a young age.
Plus (using books here), those sensitive to the force, even powerfully so, can tap into it without realizing it. I promise you the reason she was a good scavenger, pilot, and fighter is because she was able to tap into the force to a degree. Almost all Force users, even without training, tap into it by mistake. And with Legend's point, she fought an already very badly injured Ren and his lack of focus really worked against him.
As for the Pacing - I feel you cannot compare this movie's pacing to Empire. Empire was the 2nd movie that already had all the characters established. We had the villain, we had the mains, we had the overall idea so they were able to slow it down.
Look at ANH. We get the same amount of time between Ben's death that we did with Han's before the action kicked into high gear.
Ben dies - huge fire fight followed by Tie Fighters followed by Death Star run
Han Dies - Huge Fire Fight, followed by space battle followed by lightsaber duels.

saw it again and noticed something, albeit insignificant, but something I didn't before. C-3PO has his normal arm back at the end and there's a red one like one or two people across from him as they wave Rey, Chewie and R2 goodbye

lol probably a production mistake or an easter egg
Also I gotta say I'm disappointed with how little of Captain Phasma we actually see in the movie. She was played up to be a badass and instead she has barely any screen time at all. She didn't even get as much time as Boba Fett....

I will never understand the hype around Phasma. She's just a chrome stormtrooper, nothing special ._.

Well at the time prior to the movie she was hyped up. that's the thing with hype, the hype was made up with no real information.
Everyone thought Phasma would be more of a bad ass than she was, precisely because she was decked out in special armor
At the begining of the movie there are only 2 notable storm troopers, Phasma and Fin. Phasma has the special armor and Fin gets the bloody mark on his helmet to differentiatiate him. That visual significance was basically thrown out after Fin escapes because we don't see her again until like the end of the movie

Saw it again. The only thing that really bothers me is the the Death Star 3.0. It's really annoying when the climatic lightsaber fight is interrupted so we can see a nearly identical scene of the X-Wing pilots destroying it.

Frankly, I enjoyed the movie based on its own merits; however when I compare it to other star wars movies it felt like a step backwards in terms of story development and plot progression.
Perhaps I am just bias since I read the Thrawn Trilogy, but the force awakens feels more like a retread than a new movie. Killing off Han Solo was one of the best parts IMO, I just wish his son was not such a whiny bitch.
