The first time I saw “The Force Awakens” my entire review was “this is just the original three films slammed together into one film”

Which translates to me not being that impressed.

I’m with you OP!

I was a kid when the original movies came out and it had a huge impact on me. Force Awakens has it’s flaws, but I liked it then and I still like it now.

Just want you to know, you’re not alone!
