I thought it referenced the old stuff well without being too nostalgic. I knew either Han or Leia were dying so the story could go forward. I suppose you could argue it was too predictable for reasons like that, but it was fun and better than the prequels and that's all I wanted.

I hope this is the worst of the new trilogy quite frankly, but I'll count my blessings on this one. My main worry with JJ was that the franchise would look too much like the new Star treks, but this is clearly a Star Wars movie. Can't think of one lens flare incident honestly.
