Some things that I would like to see in Star Wars going forward, based on my first watching of the Force Awakens.

1) A throwaway line something along the line of "midi-clorians are not bred into the Jedi, they are attracted to the Jedi".

2) The Jedi never outlawed romance, only for their members working as 'Judges of the Universe'. I mean, come on. If the assumption from the prequels is true, the Sith's biggest draw for new members would be the daily giant orgies. Or going on a date.

3) Both of these can be cleaned up in 30 seconds of throwaway "Luke Speak".

4) Rey discovers how strong, and crappy, she is at force wielding, and the only reason that she survived was that the Sith didn't want to hurt her at all.

5) All of the old characters except for Luke are pushed to the back. Yes, even R2.

6) Director #2 looks like a solid choice. Still time to change their mind on #3. Jurassic world was a fun romp with lots of holes. Star Wars can't afford a Star : Trek Into Darkness horrible writing team, or director that can't identify that it's horrible. It's Star Wars.

7) A sense of scope that the Republic was just essentially wiped out.

8) No more battle stations.

9) More cloak and dagger.

10) Brilliant new core of characters. Flesh them out. Let them act.

My impressions of the movie. They gave the fans exactly what they wanted, and did it well. JJ Abrams is a savant at mimicking the style of other directors, and not seeming forced. Great choice for director #1. Now don't cater to the fans going forward. Give them the Batman quote thing. The best compliment that I can give is that I may never watch the prequels again.
