I get that people are saying it's derivative or repetitive but I think that's kind of the idea, it's not like they were just devoid of ideas. The Star Wars universe revolves around Rey now, that's the point. The writers were focused on establishing this new character above all else, to do so they obviously felt she needed the support of the older characters to do so.
Yes the movie is imperfect, but as a setup movie for a story that revolves around a mysterious character named Rey it's great. If you don't really buy into Rey then you will likely dislike the movie as the cheesy cgi,silly dialogue and bad pacing at certain parts will be way more glaring.
