Zero creativity

They could have done anything... What's cooler than a universe with warp drives, lights sabers and blasters??? The Star Wars universe should be just ripe with new stories and exploration. Instead we're given a near exact remake of "A New Hope". Hans is Obi Wan, his son is Vader, Ray is Luke, Luke is Yoda... While we're still completely out of ideas, why not bring the Deathstar back??? Heck, let's even do scene for scene remakes with the cantina, Vader slaughtering Obi Wan and the entire movie boiling down to the Rebels bombing a weak point of Deathstar 3.0.
Weak
If you never saw the original 3, and maybe even if you did, you can probably still like it. The action was great and the cinematography was good. But the story was pretty much an exact repeat of A New Hope with homage given to the characters and actors of the original trilogy. I pretty much expect an exact repeat of the rest of the trilogy. SPOILER ALERT at the end of the next movie (episode 8) Kylo Ren is going to drop the bomb "Ray, you are my sister."
For a franchise that could have gone in any direction and wouldn't have disappointed, they successfully accomplished disappointing me by doing a reboot and labeling it as the next chapter.
