It's not original. It's the same structure as Empire

Rating: 3/10 (4 May 2020)

I watched this and empire back to back recently, to compare the two, and I noticed how similar the two are. The chase in space, the protagonist being taught by an old grumpy jedi, a smuggler who betrayes our characters, a battle with AT-AT's on a white planet. The fact it copies so much from its counter part shows how unoriginal this film is.
Rey being a nobody is perfect. It's a great idea. It's perfect for her arch. But the film handles it so poorly. She Is told the bombshell twist, she has a little 1 tear cry, and then the next time we see her, she completely fine. Shooting tie fighters, and going 'whoo!' the reveal doesn't effect her at all. Its even revealed as kind of a second thought, as if it didn't matter, as if its not what she has been searching for her entire life.
I don't think the film is as bad as people say it is, but I can't say I enjoy it or like it. Its too much of a rip off in some ways, and a frustrating story in others.
