In two years this is going to be the consensus about TFA and the prequels.
The prequels had terrible execution/acting/dialogue/character and plot development, but at least they were creative and added to the star wars world....even if it was often in stupid ways.
TFA had decent execution/acting/dialogue (mostly)/characters, (some bad plot development) but was completely devoid of any new ideas.
There is no rule that you need a death star to make a star wars movie. They could literally do whatever they wanted to with the plot, with limitless possibilities, and they just rehashed a previous movie.
In ten years nobody is ever going to watch the force awakens because it will be completely irrelevant.
Or is Disney just going to remake the same movie every year? It's going to get very old after the eighth death star is destroyed.
