I agree 100% and this is lost on a lot of people (both hollywood and the common movie fan).  A perfect example on a more adult level is Game of Thrones.  Fans of the books loved it out of the blocks.  It took my wife and I about 4 episodes to finally get into it, but once we were in we were hooked.  Those 4 episodes to flesh out the characters and the locations is 4 hours that movies don't have.  Luckily for us we didn't start until season 3 so we were able to binge watch and power through the 4 hours until we started getting returns.  The new Star Wars have an advantage of tying old stories into new.
