It was the same as A New Hope. It was not just to induce nostalgia, they actually copied crucial plot points.strangerep said:Finally, I watched SW Ep7 (Force Awakens) on bluray (for the first time -- I refuse now to pay for cinema tickets to watch SW -- the Ewoks killed it for me back in ep6.).
What can I say? Only this:
And is there any more incompetent actor in the entire world than John Boyega (Finn)??
I didn't believe a word out of him.
At least Harrison Ford seemed to be genuinely making an effort.
But Carrie Fisher [] seemed to be phoning it in.
Watch the honest trailer Force awakens borrows too many things from A New HopeNoisy Rhysling said:Interesting. Ep. IV was a New Hope for the first three. Ep. VII is a New Hope for the second three.
And yet, when I watched a TV re-run of "A New Hope" (for the umpteenth time), I still enjoyed it and watched to the end.Kumar8434 said:[Force Awakens] was the same as A New Hope. [...]

I go to movies for fun, not for continuity. YMMVKumar8434 said:Honest trailers named Force awakens 'Star wars: A familiar hope' lol. It was almost a remake but it sure was entertaining. I think the next two movies should be original. I'll lose interest if they remake again.
Force awakens was fun but fun-movies can only mint money, it'll not be remembered like the original trilogy. But I'm sure they won't remake ESB.Noisy Rhysling said:I go to movies for fun, not for continuity. YMMV
In Hollywood you're only as good as your last movie. This stifles creativity so we wind up making twelve versions of "Sleepy Hollow" or some such.Kumar8434 said:Force awakens was fun but fun-movies can only mint money, it'll not be remembered like the original trilogy.
