And the comments about it being an over commercialized product would be fair, if that was a new thing. Star Wars has always been that way. Don't act like this movie ruined anything.
I would also point to JJ Abrams. He's a nerd and loves Star Wars. Ignore all the commercial crap like toys, tv commercials, fast food deals etc, and the movie wasn't just some horrible money grab. Take Captain Phasma for example. If you saw the movie blind you'd think she very much was similar to Boba Fett (looks cool, does nothing) but probably wouldn't see so many people lamenting the characters lack of a role in the film. Why? Because of the marketing. Phasma was heavily advertised and pushed as part of the toy sets.
