Given how episodes 1,2 and 3 were, that’s probably a good thing... though admitted the name of the new movie is horrible.
I’m the biggest star wars fan ever. The kiddo’s I was with at the theater for the last one asked me if I was there for the first one. Yes, I said. I was their instant hero. They asked me who my favorite character was and I said R2D2. He saved all their a..., whoa, lol.

True dat. I would also add the phrase "and considering the crappy tweaks he made to the Original Trilogy..."
Heck, even ROTJ had some dumb problems with it (not as egregious as the prequels), but making Leia Luke’s sister was problem #1. Making Darth Vader Anakin Skywalker was the other problem. It completely turns Obi-Wan Kenobi into an abject liar.
Ewoks could have been better. This article explains things very well....

However, there are a few things about ROTJ I like very much, but it doesn’t save it.
Ya. The prequel. When he was just a er uh baby squid.
Gay? No. He lacks 'junk'. Effeminate? Yah.

Don’t worry George JJ will make sure Star Wars is ruined anyways.
