    I am not sure why it's a mystery they would literally retread the successful ground A New Hope already tread. They want to setup the series for a new generation of fans, but also please the old. What better way than repackage what already worked? It's the story of the whole movie industry.

    Hopefully they'll break out from the mould in the next two, but they needed a familiar, if contrived, launch pad after the doubts cast by the prequels. I don't blame them. A little disappointed, but my 6 year old son enjoyed it and that's who will be their biggest overall consumer, for the next 10+ years.

    • Totally agree.

      Though I'm fully expecting "Rey, I am you're brother."

    • Would be kind of cool if Kylo, wiped her mind when he helped slaughter Luke's camp and lied to his master about her death. Complicated feelings and all that.dorkKn1ght
