I liked the introduction of new characters as well as reviving the older ones. This creates a huge nostalgia trip and gives you a very familiar setting.
The story is nothing new granted and I can understand avid Star Wars fans who are well versed in the expanded Star Wars universe that maybe disappointed. Having said that as a stand alone film it is far from disappointing and for the younger audience this is a new story.
What we end up with in story terms is a bit of a reboot of a New Hope with slightly different elements. This is not a terrible thing as for older fans its a great nostalgia trip and for newer fans its a great introduction to the Star Wars universe.
I just hope that the following films can find some emotion and spirit that is somewhat lacking in the Force Awakens.
