I agree, there wasn’t enough screen time of the island training sequence. I felt that aspect of the film was too rushed. They could have cut out the entire casino sequence and focussed more on Rey’s characterisation.

Agreed. I don't mind that they had to go, but they just needed to be there, you know? Original fans haven't seen them for nearly 40 years and they had to leave us just when we got them back again. Carrie Fisher's untimely passing doesn't help the situation at all. Who's going to be left for episode 9 now? The original cast could have done their mumbo jumbo in that one, not in 8.I don't even know what to expect now that all the classic actors are gone.

Yeah, the director of Ep 9 certainly has a huge job on his hands....
