I understand your points especially the Leia scene, which I think was the worst part of the movie.

Instead, three small and forgettable background characters die in very dissatisfying conclusions. When a main character tries sacrificing themselves for the good of the galaxy KILL THEM OFF. When a ship explodes with main characters in it KILL THEM OFF. The mockery of the force, the execution in answering the mysteries of the Force Awakens and how once Luke actually died I didn’t care because it was so poorly handled. It wasn’t unpredictable at all and when there were surprising moments, I was angry about the execution. Story was weak, characters were simple, there was no emotional attachment, no deep themes and no deep conflict. Luke's motivation was interesting but there was nothing more to him than that. Luke is ruined by having him attempt to kill Kylo in training. Poe is an unlikeable Han Solo rip-off that goes nowhere. It also bothered me that he killed Snoke, fought the guards with Rey AND THEN becomes evil again making that entire scene dissatisfying. Kylo's character goes too back and forwards. Rey starts off wanting guidance and help from Luke then is pushed to the side for most of it.
