I can’t accept TFA as a real entry in the SW saga because it devalues the events in the original trilogy, and renders all those trials, lessons, and victories as nullified, by the very people who achieved them.

This article is an excellent explanation of why some fans may be struggling with Lucas’ fairy tale ending being erased. Real life doesn’t always end with dancing plush toys.

This is an interesting rationalization of the characters presented in TFA…it is yet unfortunate they were not equally afforded their own ‘millennial’ plot and character development to properly cinch the deal…unless a millennial plot is essentially the perpetual reconstitution of ideas from the BB generation…?
