This is perhaps a pitfall of Lucasfilm now being a subsidiary of major corporate entity Walt Disney Studios, as opposed to when it was still owned and run by George Lucas as the most successful independent film production company of all time. If Lucas hadn't sold the franchise rights to Disney, The Force Awakens writer-director J.J. The Force Awakens is way too much like Episode IV. It hits nearly every narrative element of the original movie beat by beat, feeling like part remake and part reboot more than an actual sequel. As a lifelong fan of the series, I had Star Wars fever leading up to the release of The Force Awakens, and rewatched all other six episodes in anticipation. I was excited going to see it on opening day, and largely satisfied when I left the theater. But after viewing the film a second time and thinking about it for awhile, the less I like it.
