Hey, I never said it was perfect. I think I was one of the first to complain about the many OT references. But... at least TFA had great characters that can go a long way.
R1 has three problems in that sense:
1. Really lousy and boring characters
2. A predictable story that doesn't quite work
3. Like TFA (so repeating the sins of TFA, which is worse in my view) an nearly endless array of callbacks, nods and references. As if it can't stand on its own two feet... oh, wait.
