YUP, as long as it was "better" than any of the prequals and had lightsabers ppl were calling it the best thing ever. Hate the prequals all u want but at the very least that added original content to the story of the star wars universe

YES Please do! at this point i can only think that JJ did the resistance so TFA would be EXACTLY like ANH. i would have been a lot less bothered if it was the Republic battling the remnants of the empire, Leia could have still been a general, they coulda still had the X wing battles etc but why this goofy Resistance, that is financially supported by the Republic

i think the system the new death star destroyed was not the republic capital system but some other system but they were gonna get the republic capital (coruscant) but didnt get around to it.
