No it didn't

I'm hindsight, maybe not. But when it came out, it was a strong showing and a solid story could have been built off of it. Almost everyone loved it, including the nerds. It wasn't perfect but it was solid.

No

Everyone was excited that A NEW Star Wars film was made, and the kids who grew up watching Clone Wars on Cartoon Network were so giddy that they overlooked 95% of the crap, simply because they finally had "their" live-action Star Wars movie.

Long-time fans of the material weren't thrilled with JJ's "lensflares are cool" approach, just like he had done to Star Trek. They definitely didn't appreciate the Millennium Falcon sitting in a junkyard, Han Solo being a deadbeat dad and bum, and certainly not him getting killed off unceremoniously; if you're intent on doing that, let him go out in a blaze of glory. It's Han fricking Solo.

Not to mention nobody understood why Leia was leading "the Resistance", and the guys seemingly in charge were Stormtroopers and TIE Fighters... cuz last we checked, the Rebellion had won the fricking war. Killed the Emperor, people were dancing in the streets on Coruscant.

Leia, Han and Luke were supposed to be leading the New Republic, Luke reforming the Jedi Order and hitching up with Mara Jade.
Dealing with Grand Admiral Thrawn and eventually the extra-galactic threat of the Yuuzhan Vong.
