So, after a lot of thought, I'm going to say it. Episode VII is like the first JJ Abrams Star Trek. It's a formula update for a new generation. Complete with burned bodies. It could have had more creative alien designs or more iconic music but hey, it's a new beginning. We'll give it time to grow.

Exactly. Abrams played with a familiar plot and setting from the New Hope and adapted it, introducing new and different characters and villains to a new generation, while, at the same time, he managed to play with the nostalgia factor revisiting familiar places and familiar faces. It's more like an OT reboot or something like that.
