Movies like TFA don't tank - too much brand awareness globally. The worst case scenario - a performance like "Man of Steel" which was expected to make $1.5B and ended up "underperforming" with $750M worldwide.
I would say that TFA is a big "hand on" movie from the OT. There is essentially nothing in the trailers or pics so far that isn't straight out of the OT with your eyes blurred slightly.
What I meant by "hand off" was that The characters from the OT are going to hand off the rest of the movies to the newer cast. Pretty evident In my opinion.
