Thankfully, the Star Wars franchise can get back to fun, and character, and unpredictability. After the durge created by the flaccid prequel trilogy, where there was no emotion, nor effort to wield a lightsaber, and no need to develop personality, it's great to see an unhinged evil character, an uncertain female protagonist, and an awesome droid!
Fanboys will obviously lament not having back stories and canon adherence to "the force", or that stuffy old men aren't as prolific in this new version, but this is the way forward, not dwelling in the past.
Lucas proved he was no director with EPS 1-3, so it is great to have the mantle handed over to film makers.
