It's funny, because the only people that dislike it are people with preconceived notions of what Star Wars should be, that they can't seem to let go of. Plenty of long time fans are able to, thankfully.
New fans, people who were introduced to all this with TFA, seem to really enjoy the franchise. They seem to think the movies are great, despite not having any association with the fan fair or text scrawl. I guess there can be an argument made that young people all have shitty taste in movies, but it seems much more likely that it is the older Star Wars "fans" with the hang-ups. (Plus, it isn't just young people that are joining as new fans, but older ones who never got into the OT as well).
