I accidentally wrote a review. *SW7 Spoilers* (Destiny)

But then Leia walks right past Chewie after the shared love of their lives had just died, without even a word, and hugs Ray, a character she had never met before. I was 100% gone and now my heart was even confused. :(

That right there is probably the most important criticism of SW7 I've seen. Strangely enough, it didn't even occur to me when I watched (and rewatched) the movie. I think in my case, my attention was so completely fixated on Rey by that point that the other characters had slipped into the background of my mind. I came away seeing it as a strength of the movie; it made me care about Rey and Kylo more than I care about any of the original cast. But seeing you point it out this way, it is clearly a significant oversight in terms of portraying these much-beloved characters and how they would react in such a situation.

I felt like that IS how they would have reacted. I know Chewy and Solo have been a duo for a while, but Chewy, I'm sure, has been with a lot of partners in his lifetime. I don't feel like chewy would have wanted a hug or a pat on the back. I feel like Chewy would have wanted to take Kylo in a back room and use him as a punching bag.

And I feel like Leia kind of looked at both Chewy and Ray and said "Yeah, she needs it more"
