You didn’t address the first point you quoted.
Lucas didn’t hit the reset button in his version.
It wasn’t Empire vs Rebels 2.
It was Empire vs a functioning New Republic.
I agree with you that TFA played it safe and used OT imagery and story beats because they wanted something to ease fans back into Star Wars. I wish they had a little more creative imagery, and over on the fan edit thread we’re finding ways to add more political context to the film that we wish it had. But we still like The Force Awakens, though. I think the political situation makes sense in these new films, but I wish it had been made a little clearer in them. And I think in the long run, Resistance/Republic would have served the same function with differences mostly in name. Since a superweapon existed in George’s version I imagine the Republic would have had a similar fate to what actually happened in TFA. And I don’t think people would have had as much issues with the situation if they wouldn’t have been afraid to explain it more.
I just think you are at the point of thought that this a terrible movie even though there is still a lot to love about this film. Like others have said, I feel like you made this thread to find people to agree with your opinions rather than be open-minded about anything else.
EDIT: Especially when you say stuff like, “You know I’m right about TFA.” You have already made your mind up.
