for those who bought digital editions of TFA, it should unlock tonight 9pm PST I think for viewing
blu ray rips are also out of the extras disc, haven't watched it yet but has 9 items, including 4 mins 15 secs of deleted scenes, 4 minute table read, ILM feature, and 7 mins of John Williams symphony, and a 1 hour "Secrets of TFA A Cinematic Journey"

I got this on Amazon streaming.
Holy balls, this is a really shit movie.
I knew it would be shit the moment JJ Abhrams was doing it, but god....to say this was a bad effort is a massive understatement.
This film makes the prequels look like cinematic masterpieces...it's exactly that bad.
I've seen cheap pornos with better writing and plots....I'm not being melodramatic here.
...I'm stunned at how bad this movie is.

If not, you may want to give serious consideration to having your head examined.

While TFA was definitely better than the prequels, it did allow me a little appreciation for Lucas at least trying something different than retelling the originals (even though he failed at making it good).

Yeah, provided it was accurate. Didn't 3PO mention that it didn't match any known portion of the galaxy? It could have been made intentional inaccurate for that reason.

Except it clearly DID match a known portion of the galaxy. That was a HUUUUUGE chunk of the galaxy in that missing map piece. The galaxy is big enough that it's totally believable for a computer to be unable to find the position of, say, a single star cluster. But that map piece was like 10% of the fucking galaxy.
I mean yeah it's really just the typical Abrams zero attention to details. But I noticed it when I got around to finishing my second viewing and it really jumped out at me.

Maybe I'm misremembering it but didn't R2 have the large map that was missing that piece? It was the only map that showed the route to the missing portion. If the part that BB-8 had was sufficiently altered then you would theoretically only be able to find where Luke had gone if both portions were combined because you wouldn't be able to just find where BB-8's map fit into a full map of the galaxy. Just spit balling here I haven't seen anything that really elaborates on it.

The orange line doesn't mean shit, I don't even know wtf it was supposed to represent. Maybe the path Luke took to get to that ocean world at the end? The one and only thing they needed was the location of the ocean planet where Luke was, which was shown on the map piece BB-8 had. Then you hop in your ship and fly in a straight line (or a series of straight lines) to the destination, you don't need to follow some meandering orange line.
Remember, Star Wars doesn't take place in some small portion of the galaxy like Star Trek or Galactica. Civilization has spread across the entire galaxy in Star Wars, which is why the superweapon on Starkiller Base was so fucking retarded.

you do have the follow the line. A key element of starwars space travel is, space is not entirely empty. And flying at the speed of light and hitting something is really bad news. the orange line, represents a safe and clear path.
So you can't just go from A to B. its only safe to travel along routes that are established.
What DOESN'T seem to happen is... galaxies/solarsystems systems move/rotate, comets, etc..

Well you wouldn't have needed the route on the larger portion that R2 had true. It was just incidental information there. You would just line up the border of the cutout section to orient it. But if everything was rearranged in BB-8's part then the route would show to the path to follow to get where Luke was without having to unscramble it for navigational purposes.

lol. For starters, aside from a few mentions in Clone Wars, hyperspace lanes are no longer canon. And even we assume they were still canon, space is INCREDIBLY EMPTY. The idea that there would be so few safe hyperspace lanes in such a large chunk of the galaxy that you had to go thousands of light years out of your way to find a safe route to one specific system is just absurd, even in a denser galaxy like the one in Star Wars.
