Why would you want Falcon not piloted by Han Solo anyways.
Because Force Awakens is a better movie.
This is a ridiculous statement. I was explaining to my wife why The Force Awakens was entertaining, but nowhere near as relevant as A New Hope.
Here's a challenge: Give me a quote from The Force Awakens that is NOT a laugh line, that will stand the test of time.
You can't do it. The movie has no depth. A New Hope introduced concepts, dialogue, and scenes that will be part of our culture for-frickin-ever. There is *nothing* in The Force Awakens that *sticks* to the viewer.
Here are some examples from A New Hope (from the top of my head... on a movie that is 40 years old):
"May the force be with you."
"Use the force, Luke."
"The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was the learner. Now I am the master."
"You can't beat me Darth. If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
"R2D2, where are you?"
"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."
"Darth Vader, only you would be so bold."
"Do not be so proud of this technological marvel you have created. The power to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the power of the force."
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side."
...and I could go on and on and on.
This.
Personally, I didn't really like TFA, but that's just my opinion. What can't be argued is that TFA has nowhere near the lasting cultural impact that ANH had and will continue to have. There are no moments in TFA that will be remembered, quoted, parodied, etc for the next three or four decades.
EPIV has that cultural impact because it was the very first Star Wars movie, before the internet.
