Honestly I just thought TFA's rehashness was just part of the "it's like poetry" thing.

It's far closer to the third Beowulf story than poetry.

This is the world post heroes. The heroes fought and won, but the struggle that they didn't expect came next.

It is, and yet it isn't.

As I've already noted, TFA was JJ Abrams' attempt to replicate for general audiences the very specific feelings that he himself felt seeing ANH in 1977, but the way it was made also works as an echo and reflection of George Lucas' conception of the Skywalker Saga films as a "visual tone poem" that "rhymes".

And we didn't see Darth destroy any of them either.

We saw him in the process of destroying them.
