Is it silly to not mind the plot points repeated in TFA because you never saw Star Wars on the big screen?

When the SEs came out my family didn’t have the money to go to the movies and see them in theaters and now that they are the only versions out there and tickets cost around $13 a pop I am not sure I would ever go seem them.

The more I think about it the more I think that one of the reasons I may not mind the fact that TFA took so many plot points from Star Wars is not just that I liked the new characters and they were on their own arc within this story, but because I never did get to see Star Wars in theaters and on the big screen.

Is this a silly reason not to mind this point that bugs so many fans and critics alike?

I mean I normally have good taste in movies but seeing the original cast on the big screen, seeing an X-Wing space battle, and then a lightsaber fight that I liked on the big screen seems to have overridden my good taste.

Does anyone else find that this holds true for them, or am I on my own here?
