I think you and I have different definitions of MacGuffin. What I meant was a plot device in the form of some goal, desired object, or other motivator that the protagonist pursues. The conflict of TFA was largely who could complete the map to find Luke Skywalker first.

That's exactly what I'm saying. In both cases (yoda/obi wan & luke) when their apprentice turned to the dark side, the "remaining Jedi" went into a self-imposed exile on their own volition. Yoda and Obi Wan didn't have to go into exile, they could have fought and lost, but they did to stay alive. Did Luke do anything so different?

Someone please defend RJ for the scene in which the First Order is blowing up Resistance ships as they are heading towards Crait and the laser beams are arched towards the ships instead of being a straight line.

This is the first time you've noticed that the turbo lasers in Star Wars don't behave like real lasers? Let's see if you can spot the issue in these shots from the original films. (If you need a hint, go to your nearest light switch and turn it off an on several times).
