I also think that some of the people that are positive about the new film are happy about that because they want to revel in the disappointment of the fandom. How many times have we seen the term "nerd rage" thrown around about legitimate criticism? Its like there is some resentment towards people who actually liked what Star Wars was, and then enjoying the fact that the Star Wars gameboard got flipped over and pieces scattered everywhere.
