[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6791471, member: 16814"] Your point? Fine, I'll fisk it. The first two things here, the names, are opinion. There's zero fact in your choice of appellation. Secondly, none of this is a retread of ANH except the desert planet and being sent there as a child. Rei has a vastly different childhood than Luke. The 1st Order needs them as well. This is different as well, as both sides are racing to the same place, whereas in ANH, the Rebels are trying to get the plans and the Empire is trying to recover them. You totally ignored all of Finn's story here, which is entirely unique. Also the bit where they had to fight their way off, which is, again, very different from ANH where they just hid and ran. Finn Solo is an opinion. You also ignore that Rei isn't remotely at all like Leia. Also, Rei does a good job of escaping on her own, so it's very much NOT like the rescue scene in ANH. The Emperor never appears to Vader in ANH. Also, almost everyone in the movie meets Ren, very much unlike Vader who only ever met Obi-wan. Complete opinion. The cantina scene is also very different. It's not menacing like in ANH, it's a welcoming place where the heroes find assistance. Yup, those happened, but so did a bunch of other things you left out. Like the lightsaber fight between Finn and Rei and Kylo -- something that has no equal in ANH (or any other original trilogy movie, as there are exactly three lightsaber duels in all three movies). So, yeah, opinion and exaggeration alongside purposefully ignoring the glaring differences. Did the movie borrow a bunch of stage dressing and even plot elements? Yes, it clearly did. That doesn't a remake make. Huh, so Han's interactions weren't very different from ANH, so long as he's Han it's the same movie? Dude, I can't even. [/QUOTE]
