Btw TFA now has a score of 94% on rotten tomatoes. The same score as ANH.

It seems that RT scores are frequently biased high in the early hours. In fact, it was 97% two hours ago.

But the % on RT should be considered for only what it is. A percentage of people who said it was good and not rotten. It doesn’t take raw scores into account. So, for instance, a film that is mediocre but enjoyable will have a far better score than something that stratifies audiences into people who adore or loathe it. Something with 2.5 stars across the board will have a better score than a film with nearly all 4 star reviews, with a couple people who disliked it.
