I have not yet seen the movie, BUT I read all your spoilers on the theory that you're probably right that it's best to go in thoroughly spoiled... Although actually your spoilers sound like an amazing movie, so if I'm not careful I may overhype myself, as clearly it's more like there are bits of amazing buried in a whole lot of mess.
It's interesting to me that this trilogy (or at least the last two movies in it) have gone with the LOTS OF PLOT SO MUCH PLOT PLOT PLOT PLOT direction, when the original Star Wars trilogy was much more streamlined in that regard. I've heard some grumbles about how Abrams was leaning way too hard on the nostalgia in this one, but it sounds like that's a quality he could have done with being more nostalgic about.
Especially sad to hear that they don't lean into Finn finding a community of ex-stormtroopers, that's like AN ENTIRE NOVEL right there, get with the program Star Wars!
...It also sounds like Rey super murders Kylo and then sobs over him as he dies in her arms with a radiantly joyous smile on his face, and I'm not sure if I want you to spoil that for me or not, because that sounds AMAZING and might actually make me ship it and if it's not accurate then I want at least a few days to live in this beautiful fantasy world where it is.
