Yeah, I feel like I half-agree. Of course... yes, it copies the original Star Wars, yet it also has a more diverse cast, a villain with more depth, and an unexpected twist at the end. It does a lot of things better than the original Star Wars. However, apart from Rey's Theme I feel most of the music is forgettable (the Last Jedi's music is much better). I also feel the attack on the Starkiller Base feels incredibly tacked on. It did not invoke nearly the same excitement as the Deathstar Run. But I do like the world building. There's a lot to like about TFA.
However, my appreciatrion of TFA has gone down slightly, due to the Last Jedi. I've often said in my reviews of TFA, that I am willing to turn a blind eye to plot holes in it, considering it is part of a trilogy. I expected all those answers to some of TFA's questions to come with the later movies. Because surely they would have planned all of this out... right? RIGHT? Wait... there was no plan? Disney, what the hell?!
See, that lowers TFA a bit in my view.
The only reason K-2SO was great, is because they gave him every funny line in the script, and made the rest of the characters dull cardboard cutouts.
BB8 had a few funny moments, like him sticking out his torch in TFA. But what they did with him in Last Jedi is extremely cringe. Yes, he is definitely a product to market to kids. One big R2D2 wannabe rolling toy. But I enjoyed him in TFA. I agree that L3-37 was pretty terri... wait... seriously... her name is L337 ?! Now I hate her more!
