That doesn't make them bad movies, just a different feel.

I wonder if Abrams will go back on anything that Rian did. Maybe Rey's parents were nothing, but one of them was born on Tatooine, child of the farm girl who provided comfort to that hermit living out beyond the dune sea. I hope he leaves Rey as being unconnected to the previous stories but I think he had different ideas.
I hope they leave Rey's parents as un-important, I'd also prefer that we leave Obi-Wan as a figment of the past, a man burdened by sadness at the destruction that he had caused by his arrogance and lack of vision, who only found some kind of happiness after his death.
