Now that they have made a few movies that will probably both be profitable mountains they can start to have a bit more room for creativity. Also you have all those old characters, they kinda need some new blood in there to keep this shit running heh.
I agree with you on all of that.

While he did pander to the fanboys, I also think that calling it a carbon copy of A New Hope is lazy criticism. There's similarities, but it really is it's own story.
