welcome to 1977 - without the surprise

Rating: 6/10 (25 December 2015)

so let's see ... there's this evil empire that's building a death star to kill planets ... a band of rebels need to take 'em down ...
in the meantime, we've got freakish aliens in a cantina and people playing board games with little monsters.
sounds like a GREAT movie ... and it is ...
except I'VE SEEN THIS EXACT SAME CONCEPT FROM THIS MOVIE FRANCHISE. ***TWICE BEFORE.*** the effects here are great ... there's one TRULY shocking moment ...
but this isn't a re-boot, it's a re-make.
PLEASE try to tell a story in this universe and give me a new fundamental concept. please.
