new force powers being displayed is awesome because it means that we haven't (hadn't) seen everything that force-sensitive people are capable of...why is that a bad thing? there were new ships in this movie that we hadn't seen before, is that a breach of the established material, too? no, because things change. Spoiler: it's also entirely possible that, as the children of anakin skywalker, leia and luke have a way with the force that no one else does, given their deep connection to it. i can't for the life of me understand why people would be mad about that instead of excited about it. it's like there are so many people who just want an excuse to be pissed off at this movie, and that makes me sad.
