I will always remember the line that stopped 7 in it's tracks. Them deciding their plan of attack on Starkiller.

What about the shields?

We'll disable the shields.

Oh. Okay. Thanks han that sounds like a super duper plan. Yes, master smuggler and their in sure infiltrating the first order's most top secret facility that's brand new in every way will have a button that says disable shields. What a lazy line.

Compare that to "many bothans died bringing us these plans". You know, actual stakes.
