I don’t think the criticism went far enough. Instead of the lack of “sex” it should be that there was no heart in the proceedings.

But worst of all is the complete lack of backstory combined with the fact that TFA really has no driving motivation for any character other than plot advancement. It becomes so darn hard to care. Even the worst of EU materials generally had this. Even the prequels did in spurts.

Watching this just made all the negatives come floating back in my brain.
