The Star Wars The Force Awakens was a good movie

I would like to say that all of these arguments scale very little when compared with the good parts of the movie. Response to Arguments: Main Characters having no family-Now, for a lot of these arguments; You will find that Con is right to an extent. But, that extent usually does not outweigh the pros of Force Awakens. Rey had not family since she was ten years old which means that she has qualities that are very different from that of Luke's. Luke's qualities have been that of whiny and dependent on others for survival when compared to Rey. Rey actually is self-sufficient, and takes care of herself without a family. It seems like it has been 8 to 12 years that she has not been around a stable family. -Both main characters lose their "mentors"(Luke and Ben Kenobi, and Rey and Han) Han is no Ben Kenobi as I mentioned in the previous round. Han Solo is not force sensitive, and does not teach Rey anything. This is also addition to the fact that Rey is a different character when comparing to Luke. Han Solo is a broken man who has lost his family, and has gone into smuggling. Kenobi is a stable man who is on a mission to watch over Luke, and groom him into a powerful Jedi Knight that can stop Vader and the Emperor. There is a huge difference. Han Solo does not teach anything. Also, the way they Han Solo died, and the way Kenobi died is very different too. Kenobi died to an apprentice that has been waiting along time to strike his master down, and have his revenge. Han Solo is killed by a son who has inner conflict in him. One can also note that it almost looked like Kylo Ren was going to turn to the light side. -Both main villains have a "sidekick"(Boba Fett and Captain Phasma) This argument first of all does not hold up, because you are arguing that it is a re-hash of a New Hope. Either way, Phasma and Fett are different as well. Boba Fett is a bounty hunter that is loyal to the man that pays him the most. Phasma has a powerful position in the First Oroder. -Both main villains related to mentors they killed(Vader was Kenobi's Padawan, and Han was Ren's "father"(we dont know for sure)) As I was saying, the circumstances were very different in each event, and the event had different psychological effects on the audience. No-one really knew about the mysterious Kenobi, while everybody knew who Han Solo was. Kylo Ren had inner-conflict within himself which made killing Han Solo a lot less predictable, and more interesting. Vader was determined to kill Kenobi, and have his revenge. -Both main villains have a mentor of their own(Sidious and Snoke) That was also true in the prequels, and probably a majority of a lot of EU Comics. I don't see this as being a problem with the movie being good. In fact, it makes the story more interesting. With clues given, people have been coming up with wild theories on who Snoke is. I personally believe he is Darth Plagues. The beauty of this is that one can disagree with me, and have a debate on the subject of who Snoke is. That is a mark of a movie being good. -Both do almost every flight to places in the Millenium Falcon I do not see this having a significant impact on the movie as a whole, but a positive impact on the fans of the original trilogy, and the falcon itself. -Both astromech droids tag along for entire movie(R2 and BB-8) I again do not see any real problem with this, and you do not really explain why there is a problem with this. If BB-8 was so repetitive, than how come so many people actually thought BB-8 was better than R2 and Threepio. -Both main characters use Anakin's lightsaber(Luke and Rey) I again do not see the problem with this. I also like how you call Rey the main character, because that is also very debatable. One can easily see Kylo Ren or Finn as the main leads. You can literally cut out all the tiny moments of development for Finn and Rey, and just show the Kylo Ren parts. As a result, you have an hour thirty minute movie. But, on the subject of the lightsaber. That is really kind of a thing throughout the whole trilogy. The movies use this lightsaber a lot. One can say that it is repetitive in the EU to feature blue and green colored lightsabers for the good guys. Either way, Rey was bound to have a blue or green lightsaber. This aspect also goes along with saying that Star Wars is a family saga as much as it is a space-fantasy saga. It shows how the Skywalker/Solo family keep progressing. Both evil sides get their giant planet destroying spheres(because people normally do that) destroyed at the ends of TFA and ANH. I can concede to this, but I will say that the base is not really touched on that much in the movie. We don't ever see our main characters except Hux ever see in awe of the base's glory. It is a way of making the resistance more vulnerable. Design: COMPARED TO THE PREQUALS Plus your complaint is to broad to argue against. Conspiracies: The conspiracies have a lot to do with the movie. In order for a theory to work, one must have evidence from the movie to support it as a viable theory. For example, Rey being a Skywalker. We see that the Skywalker lightsaber responded to her which means she has a unique connection to that weapon. Vader's spirit guiding Kylo Ren. We see Kylo Ren begging Vader's helmet to show him the dark side "again". This could make a very big spin on how ROTJ Anakin's redemption.
