The story is supposedly 30 years after the defeat of the empire, yet there is no changes from the period of Episode VI. If we see the advancement in our own life and what was achieved in 30 years it is nonsensical that there was not improvement in the 30 years of the plot. One of the reasons that the original trilogy gain so much popularity was because it mixed since fiction and fantasy. I was expecting that a new episode will have more interesting things to show us, development, advancement, instead it looks like the only gimmick in the new episode is casting back the original stars from the trilogy. nice idea but you cannot expect that this only fact will be enough for these days viewers. but there is one thing good I can say about episode VII. 'It could have been worse'. If Hayden Christensen would have been cast in the film it would have become a disaster, without Christensen its just another failure. I hate it when a film is without a story (a poor plot or just a ripoff from other films) but I hate it even more when a bad actor makes the film just a nightmare. Hayden Christensen makes a film intolerable (in all of his films). I could not decide which was worse and which destroyed the film more, Austin Butler in 'The Shannara Chronicles' or Hayden Christensen in Star wars (or pretty much in all of his films).
