There was just not enough time allotted, and rightfully so, for them to explain meaningfully why a pilot that just died and Rose had a special bond.
it's the star-wars universe!The universe where everyone is from Nebraska.

I don't want to be reminded explicitly of all the races on earth
Secondly, I don't know if my opinion represents the majority fan base
Yup. An entire galaxy, with literally thousands of habitable planets and whose most populous species is humans, has less diversity than our planet. Yup.

I regret voicing my doubts & insecurities in public.Creative differences are a common element of any project but usually remain private. All I wanted was to make good movie. I got more than that- @rianjohnson made an all-time GREAT one! #HumbledHamill
2. There was no internet to give out spoilers, so I was shocked and appalled by the revelation that Darth Vader was Luke's father,
Did you believe that Darth Vader was Luke's father at the time? I remember being firmly in the camp of those who believed that Vader was lying simply to trick Luke into joining the Empire.
There are still people alive that saw the original Star Wars in theaters?!

As I watched "The Last Jedi," I could not help but feel that the director/writer was trying to recreate that feeling of uncertainty and unexpectedness. It did not work in "The Force Awakens" since I saw Han's death coming from a mile away. This movie seemed to be trying to set up cliche rescues, and then "shock" me with their failures. I know there is a lot of talk about the "wasted time" in Finn and Rose's trip to the casino planet, but I think that was all an attempt to trick me into thinking that their scheme would ultimately work. Similarly, I was supposed to believe that the shuttles would all sneak safely away onto the fortress planet, that Rey would escape Snoke to fight him another day, and that Luke was a dormant hero ready to become The Matrix's Neo...... However..... SURPRISE! None of that happened. I was supposed to be as shocked as I was in 1978 and 1980. Unfortunately, I wasn't.
