      It is inferior to ANH in virtually every way, for example.

          Yes, but surely the really dumb thing was to try and copy/update it, or whatever they were trying to do with this movie...?

            Finn was a better protagonist than Luke. I liked him a lot.

              I think this makes it much more important than Coruscant for the new republic
              (and I guess the fact that the NR now is decapitated may have an impact in episode VIII and IX)
              Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure that's wrong, but either way, the viewers only care about coruscant. At least some do, most probably don't care about that either.

                Clearly, the Force is propagated by very long wavelength waves, which makes resolving a point-like Force source difficult. Two Force-users a constant difference away from each other, however, should be able to perform Force interferometry to triangulate the locations of Force-users. I suspect we'll see Luke and Leia team up this way in VIII.

                (Edit: Was thinking more about Vader detecting Obi-Wan, as Proteus mentioned. Han's not a Force-user, obviously. For that, it must be some kind of Forcedar.)

                  Yes ... it seems like there are lots of infos about the new canon that are scattered througout different sources (like the "Star Wars TFA: The visual Dictionary" or the new "Star Wars: Battlefront" game) that would shed a lot of light into the movie but unfortunately aren´t mentioned there.

                  The wookiepedia is a good source of informations, as they have compiled the new official canon informations from the different sources (together with reference links):
                  The New Republic (4 ABY–34 ABY), also known as the New Galactic Republic or simply the Republic, was the restoration of the Galactic Republic that supplanted the Galactic Empire at the end of the Galactic Civil War. The Chancellor was the leader of the New Republic Senate, which was comprised of senators representing their member worlds. Instead of affixing the Senate to Coruscant, the galaxy's historical seat of government, the capital shifted from one world to another on a rotating basis, begi

Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, it served as the headquarters of the Galactic Senate and was the galactic capital of the New Republic during the Cold War with the First Order. In 34 ABY, seeking to rid the galaxy of what it saw as the illegitimate Republic government, the First Order used its superweapon, Starkiller Base, t

                      Next time, build two death stars at once. And arm each one with thousands of TIE fighters.

                        Why does the new 'Darth Vader' character look like a cross between Snape and Dr. Frank n Furter? He made me giggle.
                        Will there be a Harry Potter crossover?

                            I thought he looked like a giant Gollum. He is played by Andy Serkis after all...
