First off, don't treat me differently just because I'm a mod. I'm a member here first and foremost, so talk to me like you would anyone else. Don't let that affect how you respond 
Anyway, the series is full of inconsistencies and vague crap all over. I don't believe Disney ruined anything related to the force. While some points are valid others feel nick picky. Like the awakening, it's not because "anyone" can do it -it's because she's a Skywalker. She's strong with the force naturally, and while the films don't say it it's pretty obvious she is a Skywalker based off of evidence the movie gave us. Her awakening was a strong indicater as well.But I digress.
And the comment wasn't directed at you nor people who disliked the movie. The comment was made because of how broken up the SW community is. There are people who only say there's 3 movies or even only 1 while others like all 7. The point of it was no matter what 7 was, it was going to be hated (I never said by everyone nor does it imply I meant the entire community would hate it) and that is because the SW community is severely fractured. People who like the original trilogy were going to find fault in it for not living up to unrealistic expectations they had created for themselves, some people have said they hated it (not here from what I've seen though) because Disney got rid of the EU, and so forth for many differing reasons. It's a series that spans how many years now? Almost 40? And as such there will be a very vocal minority that'll make it known they dislike this movie. I had actually predicted a thread title like this a few months before the movie came out when talking to the VGChartz staff XD Anyway, you took this comment too personally -however, it was my own fault for not elaborating on what I meant. It wasn't meant for you or anyone else here. It was a general statement.
To give you my thoughts on the SW community I'll explain with the Final Fantasy community as an example. Final Fantasy has been around almost 30 years now. There are fans of the originals and fans of the newer ones. But thats only the tip of the iceberg. Some people split it into the NES era, SNES era, PS1 era, etc. and disregard some depending on the platform certain titles in the series come in. Theres also the whole SquareEnix merger thing which seperates the community, in which people don't consider any game after X to be a "true" Final Fantasy title since the Square and Enix merger changed the way the company ran and blah blah blah. Basically you can say you like a title like VIII and then be bashed immediately from a FF7 fan. The problem is that even though they share the same name with similar characteristics, they all vary from tone and feeling so much that it's hard to compare them. And even when you do there are some people dislike because of how different they play compared to others... and thats where SW comes in. Each new trilogy is going to have a different feeling from the one before it and because of that it creates a community that'll never be fully satisfied. I love the diversity of it all, but hate -no matter how good this movie was, was going to happen because of how SW is set up. It's not just a possibility it is an inevitiability.
I hope I explained what I meant well enough. I'm looking at it and wondering if I made it confusing but I already wrote it so I might as well post it XD

Sorry about not treating like a regular member. I am a notorious butt smoocher.
Okay. So if Rey had an "awakening" from touching the lightsaber because she is a Skywalker, then why didn't Luke? It was the same lightsaber that Obi-Wan gave him...
The next two paragraphs all I read was something something Final Fantasy, but I will accept your apology.
Also, you may have predicted this thread title, but did you predict who would author the thread?

It's just an inconsistency made from the series. Obviously Luke should have had an awakening but at the time the idea of "awakening" wasn't thought of yet. The jump from originals to prequels also have similar inconsistencies. It's an inevitable problem when it's a work that spans as long as it has with different directors with different visions. What they should've done is try to think out stuff for future Star Wars movies once they realized SW was a success, but that didn't happen. However, JJ was responsible for keeping things as consistent as possible and I believe he did a fairly good job at that. Perhaps her awakening will be expanded upon in future episodes but I don't know.
Also I found this sentence from my 2 paragraphs actually summed up my point well, "Each new trilogy is going to have a different feeling from the one before it and because of that it creates a community that'll never be fully satisfied. "
Nah, I didn't. To be quite honest I barely know anyone by their username. I know people by their avi's XD
