But the plot. Damn. Why did they have to make it a do-over of the first movie?

Droid carrying important info that the bad guys want.

Bad guys have a massive planet-destroying weapon.

Good guys have to go blow it up, but not before an important character gets killed in a showdown with the super bad guy.

And good guys have to disable the shields first. Can't forget that.

Insert scene with heights and a narrow walkway.

Really, I'm not sure if the plot was serious or a parody.
I think it's the sub plots that set it apart. Remember, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi are basically the same arc as well. Disable shields, take out death star.

I will say that they followed the original recipe to a T. I think that was done on purpose to get people to realize what Star Wars wad intended to be originally. It will diversify and make itself stand out as an original story line as the movies go I think (2 more to do so).

I want to know more about Rey's background. There is obviously more to it. Something tells me she's related to one of the new storm troopers. I'm not sure though.

Again, good movie. Need to see it again. First impression is they were trying to set the foundation.
