More questions will be asked but not answered
TFA was the first movie in a triology of movies, so when it set up questions, TLJ was supposed to anwser them. But instead of anwsered questions we got stuff.
Cool over the top epic shots covered by a loving lens flare
I don't remember TFA having any lens flares, aside from that scene with the deathstar.
Cringy humor that should be in marvel films but not Star Wars
Lots of call backs to previous series lines
Ok, you can have those points.
Fan Pandering
Every movie based of a popular franchise or a classic franchise has Fan Pandering.

Its a move made by a large company in Hollywood. Making loadsamoney is the goal of every company. Would you rather like to watch aritistic indie films ? I would personally reccomend you then to watch what Walla wants, its a documetnary movie about a palestinian girl in Israel.
it'll probably reinvigorate the average star wars interested person.
But the fans will probably get pissed and move on.
Don't get your hopes... Down ? Its just a teaser trailer, for all you know the film might, subvert your expectations.
As a general movie person I say, leave what's dead dead.
Disney tried to breathe new life into star wars and also tried to get some money from it. Face it, the original star wars fans won't live forever and as time goes on the original triology will loose its magic with the new generations. It will become something like Bethoveen's music in a way, for its time a magical thing, but in the future, hell even now, it might be just a relic of the past. What Disney does is trying to retell or show the magic of star wars to the newer generations, in a new way so that someday they might also be so passionate about star wars. And also to get some money but you get what I mean.
Also the EU was about 90% bad fan fiction stuff noone cared about. Come on, you can't tell me that the Emperor having clones of himself and convincing Luke to join his side doesn't sound like a fanfiction.
