Seriously, the heroes failed a lot in this movie (in finding the hacker, convincing Ren to rejoin the light side, stopping the First Order from firing its beam cannon at their hideout) and while they still managed to pull through in the end (obviously, or there couldn't be a sequel), knowing they could actually fail made a lot of scenes much more tense. For a very fantastical movie, I thought it was a nice bit of realism.
