A New Hope got everyone that is a Star Wars fan interested in the franchise. The Force Awakens does that for a whole new generation. I wasn't born when a New Hope came out but my dad had the VHS( actually still have it, when I was 5 the trailor we were living in got taken in a flood and we were watching it as the water got up and its the only thing we took out of the trailor at the moment). I didn't think the prequals were bad but they did have bad moments. They were the first Star Wars films I seen in theaters and with The Force Awakens I walked out completley satisfied feeling like I had just seen a great movie. JJ using New Hope as a base for this film was probably the best thing that could have happened. It reminded old fans of the past while making the wonder about the future of the franchise.
