    For example.. I didn't know that Kylo took Rey because she saw the map. There was so much going on in that point in the movie.. that it seemed like he just randomly took her. That whole second act is so chaotic.

    Didn't you listen to the dialogue?

    Kylo Ren to Rey: "The map... You have seen it."
    Kylo Ren to Stormtrooper: "[...]Forget the droid, we have what we need."


    But generally speaking I have to agree with you, the fast pacing of this movie may seem chaotic in some degree but I've never felt confused...

    watching this with my sister a couple of nights ago, it occurred to me that Han mentions Vader in that scene between him and Leia, but that's the only time Vader is ever mentioned (Ren calls him grandfather). while it's hard to conceive of anybody not knowing who Darth Vader is or not recognizing his burnt mask, there are absolutely no lines drawn between these dots whatsoever.

    when i saw the movie with a different sister at Christmas, she was very disoriented at the beginning and i think her lack of knowledge/recollection of Star Wars hindered her enjoyment of the film overall. another one of my friends who has only watched Star Wars casually likewise didn't really "get it", though i have insisted he watch it again and give it a chance.

    my little cousins on the other hand (ages 9 and 12) just ate it up.

    I have only watched the film once (gonna buy the collector's edition) and that was in December. Personally I didn't have any trouble following the plot.

    There was no issue with me following the plot or action. Then again I am a big fan of the Universe.

    But I really feel like this movie could be watched and an enjoyed without having any knowledge of the past movies.

    I did but it just didn't process the first time.. there is so much action going on in that scene and everything. It makes it great on repeat watches though.

    From a wider perspective, it's interesting how 'forgotten' that scene is in other topics as well.

    JJ did horribad on it. He was a scared little boy director. Afraid to take risk. Just copied the original.
