The more recent part stems - initially - from efforts to blunt criticism of the prequels. More recently, and what I believe you're talking about is the Abrams fanboys trying to elevate TFA - with the ludicrous position of ranking TFA after Star Wars/Empire (whatever the order of the 2 or 1a and 1b).

You haven't even seen it yet as I seem to recall from earlier in this thread. The only reason you hate it is you don't like the Star Trek films he made. That and you heard it has a very similar plot to the original. You can't call it ridiculous unless you've seen it.

I don't think history will look back on Episode 7 as favorably as they do now -- at least not Star Wars fans. The plot takes far too much from Episode 4 and other films in the original trilogy, the logic is questionable in places (landing on a planet at light speed) and a lot felt cut out or rushed (sneaking through Starkiller base, Captain Pharma's entire role).

Ultimately I can now understand a lot of the criticisms Trekkies had with JJ Abrams Star Trek films even though I loved them. You're a lot more willing to overlook tiny flaws and inconsistencies when you don't go into the theater a die hard fan of the franchise and are just looking for a good movie.

As for Episode 6, It may be the weakest of the original trilogy, but it's still one of my favorite films.
