Episode 7 just had the burden of having to restore faith after the prequels, introduced the new main characters, show old Han and Leia, and then set-up new villains. The whole movie was basically a set-up movie.

Same reason characters like Snoke and Kylo Ren feeling underdeveloped don't bother me, because I know they'll fix that in the next movies.

Episode IV and I did just fine, this movie was too busy setting up a trilogy instead of focusing on the actual movie a mistake all new franchises make to make "trilogies' which Star Wars never had that problem.

You don't need to "restore" faith, that's the dumbest thing ever, most people love the prequels in the general audience and Disney continues to market them. I love the new good guys but rehashing the plot of A New Hope, having the empire basically still be there after 30 years, and making lame villains doesn't help. This should've been a new take just like the prequels were. Rogue one already focused on the same nostalgia, is that all they plan to do? I had hope for Episode VIII but the set up in VII is already too similar to the OT for it to differ and this new title isn't helping my faith in it. If Disney continues like this they'll drive Star Wars to the ground.

Diverse? Not at all it's a SJW/Liberal hotspot been there since 2006 and frequented it for years but the level of autism, elitism, whininess, made it impossible for me to continue frequenting it, 10 years ago that forum was the place to be for news/opinios, today? not so much. The bad outdoes the good. I pretty much spent the last few posts I was there arguing with people's narrow minded ideas until I got banned for pointing out it was ridiculous for someone to be offended that the Pokemon games only included "boy and girl" options. That really bummed me out as I had years of archiving informational threads there through subscriptions which I now can't get through, I should've just avoided the forum so I could've kept them.
