I don’t want to derail this but taste is subjective. To me, TFA is an incredibly well done movie but an incredibly soulless one. It’s the marketing director’s sweet dream come true. Repeated viewings have made it worse each time. Whenever people say they couldn’t connect to ROs characters but praise TFA, I can’t help but roll my eyes. If the TFA characters weren’t connected to the original cast, I am pretty certain things wouldn’t have been the same. And I give them that they acted well enough.

This statement is as inane and simplistic as it gets. That’s like saying "if it weren’t Star Wars, you wouldn’t care at all.

Well, duh. No shit.

If it were Star Trek, I would barely care. If it were The Walking Dead, I wouldn’t care at all. But, in the end, it’s Star Wars and that’s the primary reason why ANY of us care.
