Hey there, long time, welcome back to Freaks! 
I wouldn't say the opinion is "very" different to my own, as I also don't feel all refugees seeking help should be denied just because of a few rotten apples in the basket. However, I do think it's a pretty mindbogglingly ineffective form of help to basically import large parts of far away countries populations all the way up to northern Europe to house them here, especially since it's currently wearing down particularly our economy to where anything from railroads and general infrastructure to police forces and hospitals are now failing to a very noticable degree due to lack of resources and funds.
I really do think all the money we spend on taking 1 refugee here would be better spent helping 10 or more refugees closer to their original home lands, especially since it tends to be the stronger and more well off younger males who come here, leaving the truly poor and helpless, and the women and the children, behind.
As you point out, I just think there has to be a better long term solution to fixing the problems at home so ALL the people who live in the conflicted countries could be "saved", rather than just the rather large handful that makes it all the way up here. But it's certainly not an easy problem either way you look at it.

Argh!
Well, we shall see how it turns out I suppose. At least Shane was involved with the original and will hopefully want something closer to that look brought back.

I definitely agree that Han and Leia seemed to have been thrown in mostly to draw in older fans, same as with Chewbacca really. The Luke connection still seems pretty intriguing to me though so I hope they don't mess that up in the next one.
Daisy Ridley in general I liked pretty well, but on the other hand I've never been a huge fan of the Tomb Raider series so I don't have a lot of feelings on it really. I'd probably still see it though.
And yes Darth Maul would be hard to beat as a bad guy at this point. I also *really* didn't like that they made Kylo Ren sort of an intentionally weak and disturbed personality. I'm sure they felt it added emotional depth or whatever but I just felt it took away from what the character could have been. He just didn't seem like a particularly great or scary threat at all compared to previous siths.
