Specifically Luke and Leia. Disney's characters were much better, and that pulled it ahead for me. Wow, you really are that naive...

The superwapon was absolutely ridiculous... People like the trilogy because it was iconic, not because of it's storyline or characters. The new movie managed to keep that legend going while makeing it new and exciting. Yes, the super weapon was stupid, but it actually wasn't much of the storyline. One slip up isn't enough to make it a bad movie. It was enough to make it fall into the realm of overhype.
