If it's a case of overzealous fans hating on their long established fandom, why was The Force Awakens so universally well-received? It's because it was a good story.

You're the one that mentioned the GoT source material. I was literally just showing you how silly it is to say they can't be compared because you like one and not the other. A lot of GoT fans disagree with that. I've read a lot of SW fan criticisms of TLJ and a lot of GoT fan criticisms of the show. They are very similar in terms of how people describe the way Johnson and B&W have handled the source material.
Someone mentioned they'd like to see B&W do SW because of how well they handled GoT. I simply pointed out a lot of people don't feel that way. They'd view it as B&W ruining yet another franchise.
