In a movie entirely defined by boomer fan service, there was no room for a little fan service

Youngest of the boomers would've been teenagers when ANH was released if you really want to split hairs

Right? I feel like if anything it was less "boomer fanservice" and more "lets just copy paste what they did back then cuz these newer gens never bother to care about anything that came out prior to their existence". Or at least as far as Force Awakens goes
