Nice post. I’ve always felt that TFA was designed very carefully to not only please young and old fans, but to welcome new fans as well. So, welcome!
Thanks for the welcome! I’ve found the people here on this forum are much nicer and maybe a little more realistic than the people in the Facebook group I was a part of. So many people on there saying if you don’t like the prequels that you aren’t a real fan and a bunch of people shouting about how much they hate The Force Awakens. Like god damn no one can like anything there.
