The copy of a copy: an empty shell with the shape of Episode IV

Rating: 2/10 (21 December 2015)

I just watched TFA and although I expected the "Master of Clonation" J.J.Abrams wouldn't have deviated from the original formula I remained shocked to see that as a matter of fact this movie is a carbon copy of Episode IV. In order here we have:
1) A copy of Luke Skywalker 2) A copy of Obi Wan Kenobi 3) A copy of Wedge Antilles 4) A copy of Darth Vader 5) A copy of the Emperor 6) A copy of the Empire 7) A copy of the Death Star 8) A copy of Tatooine 9) A copy of Yavin 4 10) A revolving copy of R2D2
The plot perfectly follows Episode IV: the young orphan protagonist leaves on the desert planet and she's poor, she comes in possession of a droid with important information for the Rebellion (why they are still called Rebellion is a mystery), the Evil Neonazi Empire (that here is called First Order) destroys a village to come in possession of the droid but the protagonist with one useless sidekick is able to escape on the Millennium Falcon and bla bla...I would not bother the reader with further details, (s)he already got the plot.
What surprises me is that this movie is critically acclaimed, that nobody rose these points and it appears everybody is happy with that: the "movie" looks like the result of a very professional consumer poll made by Disney and Jar Jar Abrams using the SW fans, in the end the final judgment is in the eye of the beholder: if (s)he is a consumer (s)he'll like the product they prepared for him/her, if (s)he is a critical viewer (s)he won't like this movie at all and will return to watch the original trilogy.
In Lucas' defense at least he tried to invent something new with the prequels in order to move forward the mythology, TFA does nothing in this sense and doesn't want to do anything in this sense because it aims to make as much money as possible making everybody happy...oh well almost.
