I'm as die-hard a fan as they come but it just really and truly was an ANE reboot.
Yup. And that's what makes me so disappointed.
A saw ANH probably 1,032 times. Now I feel I saw it 1,033 times.
Here are just a few reused plot devices that I spotted. If I sat through the movie again and recorded all of them, I'm sure there are a dozen more I'd see.
WRITER: "Hey here's an idea: Lets hide some secret plans in a R2D2 where it can wander Tatooine waiting to be found by the Empire before the star destroying planet can destroy the rebel alliance"
PRODUCER: "Hmmm, that's sounds too familiar. Maybe it we rename R2 to BB3, rename the Empire to the Order, and rename Tatooine to Drakka, this could work!! Lets roll with that!"
