"TFA is just just a copy of ANH!"

Only a Moof Milker would say TFA is beat for beat ANH.

 

I've been saying this same thing over and over, but I think you said it best. I mean, yeah, absolute nobody in desert ends up being a somebody who finds another older somebody who dies in order to help a rebellion blow up a planet blowing up thingy, the plans of which were hidden in a droid which both sides sought after. That's about it for story, and that isn't even the important part of the story.

 

I'm lost in space here....

 

Plans for Starkiller were not hidden in BB-8.

If you boil it down, The Phantom Menace and A New Hope were the same movie. A boy from a desert goes on a mission with an older Jedi Knight and pilots a ship that blows up the bad guys super weapon. The boy likes the Princess/Queen and will eventually be trained in the force by another Jedi because the older Jedi died. At the end they have a huge celebration!

Wow, looks like we got A New Hope three times now.

This argument is just so plain silly.

 

JJ is literally finishing a 9-stanza poem... Where 6 stanzas are already written.
And people are like "why did you make it rhyme?"
*facepalm*

 

:sigh: excuse my language but fans are so Maclunkey clueless now a days on anything its really becoming a thing where it makes fandom look horrible. for example people hated the prequels so everyone online hated the prequels and if some did like them there deemed not a ** true ** fan. as for the force awakens people are now crying foul of how its a copy of anh. seriously make up your Maclunkey minds people. in the end i think people are just miserable now they have to just bash every thing

i mean jesus bloody christ if disney and jj did a whole new start from scratch story i am willing to bet people will still Vhlor wine and complain. seriously have fun at the movies wich is the whole point of star wars in the first place.

 

Thank you! I've been saying this ever since the movie came out. And not just TPM and ANH, but also ROTJ and ANH. 2nd Death Star anyone? Its like poetry...

 

I mean there's no denying it follows a lot of the beats but it's not the same story at all (even if I really wished they had avoided a Deathstar 3.0)

But what makes me laugh is that the people who make that claim are also likely to be those who don't like the fact we've seen lots of new force powers on show in this movie - the freezing of a blaster, the mind probe etc. They are also people who can't see that the force is manifiesting itself in Rey in a completely different way and that she was basically 'awakening' through interaction with the lightsaber and interrogation by Kylo Ren. They want her to have to go through training and the exact same journey as Luke because apparently this movie is 'Grrrr ...exactly the same as IV' but must follow IV exactly!

 

Because Luke underwent so much training...

People are ridiculous.

 

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away...uh oh, copyright infringement. Damn you JJ!

I know, I mean I remember in ANH when Vader removed his helmet and said...he didn't.

Well when this girl was in the belly of a star destroyer scavenging stuff for food...no...wait...

Luke lived in a an AT-AT Walker too! Noooooo

But...but it is beat for exact beat of ANH...I mean the exact moment Poe and Finn steal a Tie Fighter in ANH Han shoots Greedo...whoops...this is not the exact movie you're looking for.

 

How many force abilities did Luke show in A New Hope?

I count two.
1. With the blast shield down, he blocked 3 blasts from the remote with his lightsaber.
2. He made the exhaust port, after shutting off his targeting computer. After hearing a voice.

Now.... in The Force Awakens, how many Force-related skills and abilities did Rey show? .... Hmm?

 

The mind trick and using the Force to grab the lightsaber.
You could also argue the Force vision and her lightsaber duel victory...

 

Luke encounters some Sandpeople on Tatooine. Gets knock unconscious, until he's rescued by Kenobi.

Rey encounters a gang of thugs on Jakku. Whoops them all with her staff (without even breaking a sweat).

Yes!

I was kind of suggesting that Luke has only two moments... and my belief is that Rey has a lot more!

(I was just too tired to list all of Rey's moments....)

How can people can still say that SWTFA is a copy of ANH???
They are TWO different movies.
There are a lot of threads around here saying this.

 

Yeah but did Rey actually force grab the saber or did it catch her by surprise, by going past Kylo and she either had to hold her hand out , or get hit in the face?

Seems she was very surprised it even came to her.The look on her face is WTH? I don't count that one.

 

Luke was a farm boy who was sheltered by his overprotective uncle. Rey is a scavenger on a rough planet where she scavenges for her existence and had to learn how to fight and protect herself to survive. That is why Luke needs assistance with the Tusken Raiders and why Rey did not need assistance against Unkar's thugs.
