Great movie.... end of story. Yes you need to keep the fanboys happy because the fanboys are what made these trilogies work. Without the fanboys Star Wars wouldn’t have any success in the late 70’s, therefore George Lucas would’ve pulled the plug on the Empire Strikes Back, therefore no first trilogy, and no future movies.
The plot twist was great and if you watched the Force Awakens carefully you could of guessed it, just as Abrams had stated.
Anyways these so called critics don’t know anything about a great movie, never have. Their hate for us “fanboys” is hilarious. Go out and see it for yourself and you be the judge.
