It's shameless plagiarism of the Original Trilogy and other movies/games

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2015)

Hi, I'll start spoiler free!
This movie is objectively a (bad) rip-off of Ep. 4-6. If you go scene by scene there will perhaps be 10 minutes of original, new screen time.
I've never seen such a shameless reuse of old scripts. It feels, like the producers sat down and assembled all scenes they deemed iconic for SW and just put them together again somehow with a slightly different (worse mostly) look and style. The result is a story totally unbelievable, filled with scenes that seem out of place and full of big plot holes and random events.
The way this plagiarism is done is so crude, they didn't even try to hide their lack of creativity. Almost every scene feels like a deja-vu and those are not even connected properly throughout the movie.
Additionaly they often got the essence of those scenes they tried to copy wrong and even failed at bringing nostalgic feelings then. Instead those scenes seem twisted and feel just wrong somehow.
It's not nostalgia anymore. It's way too overdone for that. It's not even a reboot - just a lazy rip-off without it's own spirit! I like little nostalgic hints in a movie, but this movie is just that in proportions never seen before. A giant easter-egg!
I'll try to make it short and clear by several topics, which were not mentioned before and are not too obvious (which is where the SPOILERS start):

The new Order: They exactly copied the regime from the game Wolfenstein: The new Order and even dared to steal the exact name!! I can't believe it! Do you know that game? Even the supreme leader Snug (oh, c'mon...) is a copy of Deathshead. Yes, they really do look the same! It's ridiculous! Same with every other aspect of The new Orders style right down to the speech on Starkiller Base. It's so obvious and direct, that I wouldn't be surprised if Bethesda sued them about it.

Addionaly I think the Nazi symbolism is overdone for SW this time. I mean what do you think supreme leader translates to in German? Isn't that a bit too crude, even for Disney? (btw I'm German, but watched the original language version in cinema.) Did they really translate it to "Führer"? If they did, it will seem most strange to German viewers to encounter this in a SW movie.

Spaceships and assets: Why are there only X-Wings/TIEs and no capital ships of the resistance or any ground vehicles? They forgot about A-, B- and Y -Wings, TIE-Bombers, Walkers and such completely. I have the strong feeling, that if you count the different models of spaceships and other assets shown, this movie has by far the fewest variety of all SW movies including Ep. 4 .

Battles are quite small scale throughout the movie. They lack in variety, intensity and numbers of combatants compared to SW standards. What they are is just fast paced. Lightsaber duels are a joke - especially concerning authenticity and believability.

Relations between Republic, Resistance and New Order aren't explained enough in the movie, but in novels and dictionaries. So basically you have no idea what's really going on the whole time, if haven't read those before.

Starkiller Base. What? Can it move? Does it fire through hyperspace? If it can't move, how to get new suns for ammunition? ... it's just ridiculous - a 3rd sun sucking Mega Death Star. The idea of a genius! And I think I know it from somewhere already...

Planets were boring, no sights to behold, no fancy creatures, very Earth-like and not very SW-like. Starkiller Base was optically interesting, though. Jakku is just a Tatooine copy, with too few distinctive features between the two. Exotic plants and creatures seem scarce on any of the shown planets.

If I wanted to list every scene they just simply copied exactly, I would be recapping the whole movie. People did that prior to me and it's obvious so I skip that part. When the film is released on DVD/Internet surely someone will analyze this by the numbers, but I think it's over 75% reused content for sure. You can find a corresponding scene from Ep. 4-6 to nearly every Ep. 7 scene, I'm sure. Just altered a little tiny bit and in the "new" context of Ep. 7.
P.S.: I'm writing this as a long time SW fan, movies and games alike. I wanted to like this really, but I just can't. I'm in the late 30s and even managed to watch and like Clone Wars, but this is just unbearable.
Consider copying and J.J. Abrams (it's the LOST guy!) and Voldemort (Kylo) a No-Go for Ep. 8 and you can still do this! -lol
Edit: What is it with all this black guy, white girl comments? It's Star Wars - the guy could be purple after all and the girl be a hermaphrodite, six legged alien. A white male galaxy is not part of Star Wars! (PC complainers ... go check your fascination with the empire.)
