That's debatable. It's more like a cousin by marriage.
And to answer the question above, I actually really enjoyed the Force Awakens (and own it). I felt it was a great springboard for things to come. I enjoyed the ground work for the new characters, believed they implemented the Old Guard well, and it *felt* like Star Wars-y to me. The new one was just a cluster bomb of things I didn't like, things that didn't make sense, and things that were flat out stupid and didn't fit 40 years of backstory.
I'm really REALLY hoping that Abrams manages to pull the whole trilogy out of the nose dive that it's in.
