New Star Wars movie is well received by the critics.

Rubbish .... 

It was an awesome movie

Strip away the title, the text crawl, the John Williams score, change the shape of all space crafts, the design of the uniform and armor of all background character, replace the word “force” with “psychic energy”, and call the laser swords (Luke’s words, not mine) with “magic crystal sword”, how awesome would it still be?

True, it did have some sentimental scene that works and would not have worked without the rest of Star Wars, but is that enough to carry a movie?

Still awesome .Even setting aside any of the other star wars films . I think it stands well on it's own .

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).

Indeed this film deviants a lot from previous films. And i love it 

As i said i think it stands on it's own . And those who try and argue it's nostalgia driving it . Have not asked people who are not star wars fans . Because most of the non fans i know loved it .
