I loved the movie, but the ANH parallels did bother me a bit. As time goes by, it's bothering me less. This movie was a reset for the fanbase. Hit all the touchstones, give familiarity, introduce the new gang and start assembling them as a family. I'm also pretty impressed by the feint they pulled in all the marketing which totally made it seem like Finn was the new Jedi to be.

When they have to make a new one, it will be interesting to see the direction. I'm still hoping for a Thrawn. I mean, Thrawn can work for the First Order right?
