It's definitely better/more important than the space battles imo.
Well there were no "acrobatics" in the first SW. There was just the one Saber fight which didn't last very long. The Death Star attack, and the Star Destroyer at the beginning was all a Massive part of the SW Experience.
The Sabers as well of course, but don't underestimate the importance of the Uniqueness of SW Space Battles.
So it's the combination of both tbh.
But the Marketing behind EP 7 has certainly revolved around the Millenium Falcon more than the Sabers.
