TFA left you with a point at which everything was left off at in just the same manner that ANH did…

Star Wars ended with a closure to everything. Bad guys defeated, weapon destroyed, good people safe, the pirate turns trustworthy, and the princess gives the good guys their medals of honor. All is right with the universe.

TFA has one of the heroes in critical condition, one of the long time heroes killed, the main villain still at large and coming after the good guys, and one of the heroes solemnly going off to find another hero who’s gone into exile, in hopes of getting his help in the war.

I don’t see those as even remotely similar in tone of story.
