Yeah, because TFA played pretty safe. I really loved it, but it was pretty much a modernized Episode IV to introduce new characters to the franchise. Which I think was a great idea, the franchise NEEDED a look into the past again. But this movie shakes up the SW universe and it's tonally different to the previous movies, and SW fandom doesn't welcome changes as much as they say they do xD.

Does it shake it up? I’ve heard they finish exactly where they started in the movie and nothing really happens. And they added the MCU humour apparently.

I really can't agree with that opinion. The movie feels pretty different to any SW movie to date, so I figured once I leave the cinema that people will me mostly polarized about it. There's some parts that didn't really click on me in the film (specially a side plot I didn't really care about), but most of it was ace and different. And I still mantain that SW fandom is pretty alergic to change. I'm in that fandom, I'm part of some SW forums on the Internet, and, yeah, it's pretty much polarized about it. I still think that the movie is way better than the majority of SW films. Which is a franchise I really like, but it's uneven as hell xD. I respect those opinions though, but I think part of the fandom think SW is the second coming of Christ, and their expectations are highly unrealistic.
