Does she have to be the daughter of someone we know? Is no one else in the Star Wars universe capable of making babies?

Rule #5683 of the internet is to assume Abrams has complete creative control over any project you don't like and then blame him for any perceived problems.

Yes, but with great FU's come great responsibility.

Is it actually Disney that's doing this?

Yes, but lightsabers, and droids, and star destroyers have also been done before, but we still love to see those in Star Wars movies. And come on, EVERYTHING about Star Wars stretches belief. That's part of the fun.

OK, but what does that have to do with my original point that Death Stars are a big visual part of the Star Wars universe and that's why we keep seeing them? That's all that I was saying.

Well, I didn't mean lightsaber duels, I meant lightsabers themselves, the technology, the look of it. It's an icon of the Star Wars universe, like Death Stars, in my opinion.

Ehh…

Only Bothans can use that word with each other. You don't get to use it.

To me, Death Stars are like backdrops in Star Wars movies. They turned up in two of the original trilogy movies and one of the prequels (and is a plot point in another prequel) and one turns up again in Force Awakens.

I'll solve some puzzles in a slow-paced way
I shoot eggs from my mouth to avoid real fights
And commit suicide, yes, you read that right!

Wherever she goes, she turns a lot of head-eys.

Sure, but King Arthur isn't so much a "famous dead person" as he is a fictional character.
