Yeah, if I was going with plot holes I'd say: (Off-Topic)

- FN states he doesn't want to kill anyone and then immediately kills a whole bunch of other stormtroopers while in the tie fighter without even a second thought. (character inconsistencies may or may not fit Cody's definition of plot holes).

- FN states that he needs a pilot and can't pilot things many times throughout the film, but every single other character he meets is a pilot. Finding pilots and becoming a pilot seem like incredibly easy things, and it makes you wonder why FN can't just figure it out. (not a massive hole, but still weird enough to note).

- Princess Leia says how much she missed Han and loves Han, but there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever of that in her emotionless delivery. Okay, fine, not a plot hole, just terrible acting.

- The entire timetable of the weapon starting to fire / getting blown up by x-wings / the planet tearing itself apart / Adam Driver losing the fight / Rey carrying FN back to the Falcon / The guy who is inside the base that is already blowing up being told to go and get Adam Driver and meet the Sith Lord somewhere / the x-wings barely escaping the blast is just complete nonsense. Let's assume finding Adam Driver is trivial (as per the linked article); in the amount of time it would take for Rey to get find her way around the chasm and back to FN, and then to carry him at that unbelievably slow pace back to the Falcon (seriously there was no sense of urgency whatsoever there), and then for the Falcon to get away from the exploding planet, the X-wings that had started bugging out just as soon as Poe delivered the kill shot would have already been coming out of hyperspace at Rebel HQ.

I'll grant that this isn't as egregious as Batman climbing out of a cave in Tunisia with no ID, map, money, or idea where the nearest town is and ending up in Gotham less than 3 hours later (remember that before Batman climbed out of the cave, we saw the nuclear bomb with less than 3 hours left on its timer) having mysteriously snuck past the already established as impossible to sneak past blockade, put on his costume, and had his dehydration and malnutrition fully healed, but timetable fails really bug me in films and the end of star wars TFA was pretty poorly constructed from a timeline perspective.
