--- --- # Here's Everything That's Wrong With _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_ by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 29, 2016 3:53 PM UTC by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 29, 2016 3:53 PM UTC Audiences [flocked](http://time.com/4154673/star-wars-the-force-awakens-box-office-history/?iid=sr-link2) to _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_ when it opened. Fans loved it, [critics loved it](http://time.com/4150168/review-star-wars-the-force-awakens/?iid=sr-link2) (well, not that [critic from the Vatican](http://time.com/4161601/vatican-star-wars-force-awakens-review/?iid=sr-link4)). The latest installment of the wildly popular franchise even surpassed [_Titanic_](http://time.com/4165535/star-wars-the-force-awakens-passes-titanic-at-box-office/?iid=sr-link1) at the box office. Now, one brave soul is going out on a limb to point out that _The Force Awakens_ actually has a few flaws in it. The enemies of fun over at YouTube channel [CinemaSins](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYUQQgogVeQY8cMQamhHJcg) have put together a comprehensive video that documents every last flaw in one of the [biggest blockbusters](http://time.com/4156046/force-awakens-box-office/?iid=sr-link3) of all time. Their 18-minute compendium of so-called flaws include some very valid complaints, like the fact that Leia has graduated from princess to general and is one of the most legendary sci-fi characters ever, yet only got five minutes of screen time. They also point out that Kylo Ren could have solved a lot of problems for himself if he had simply gone to fetch BB-8 and the all important map, instead of passing off the job to minions. Go ahead and watch _The Force Awakens_ fans, but be forewarned you might not be able to see the movie the same way again.
