Rehash

Rating: Null/10 (26 March 2016)

Great to see another Star Wars movie. Great to see Han, Luke, and Leia again. Great to see R-2 and C-3PO again, even though you can't recognize him with the red arm (lame joke), I find this movie to be the worst of the 7 films.
And that is because so many things in this movie were ripped off from A New Hope. Starkiller base was ripped off from the Death Star, they flew X-Wings through trenches while being chased by Tie Fighters while trying to destroy it. Bad guys blow up planet with base to get to Leia like in A New Hope. Mentor character killed while trying to shut down shield generator by red lightsaber wielding helmeted bad guy like Kenobi in A New Hope. A captured Rebel member being saved by new ally in a Stormtrooper costume. Force sensitive youth on a desert planet dreaming of bigger things and being pulled into an epic struggle for freedom throughout the galaxy.
Sure, there were some original things, but just how much they ripped off from the original really ruined this movie for me. I was enjoying it but when I saw the X-Wing's flying through the trench I thought, "Wait a second! I've already seen this movie!!!!"
Spoiler alert!!!!
It was crazy they killed Han Solo. Harrison Ford wanted it for so long. It must have been what they had to offer him to get him to come back.
Hopefully Episode 8 doesn't rip off Empire Strikes Back. If it opens with the Rebels living on an Icy Planet like Hoth from Empire I swear I'll walk right out of the theater.
