Was the system that got wasted by the deathplanet Coruscant?
So anyway, number 1 problem I had with Ep7 was that it was a direct clone of Ep4 in story, in a ridiculous amount. Copy pasta from what I said elsewhere:
My main problem with it was how it was an exact clone of A New Hope. Droid with secret information crucial to rebellion ends up alone on a desert planet, young desert planet person who appears to have massive untapped Force potential finds droid, Empire First Order stormtroopers who look exactly like they did 35 years ago are searching the planet for the droid, droid and young future-Jedi escape on Millenium Falcon. Oh yeah and there's someone being tortured by the First Order's evil Sith second-in-command, and there's one military leader of the First Order who isn't a Sith who is at odds with the Sith second-in-command.
There's a Jedi apprentice who kills all the other Jedi apprentices (SW3) and becomes big bad Sith second in command, Sith second in command Ren/Vader kills an old man who was very close to him and essentially gave up his life for little reason, in the Death Star.
Oh yeah speaking of which THERE IS A DEATH STAR PLANET ROFLLLLL not even a different shape weapon or anything. At least in the extended universe the other super weapons had much different designs and generally played less of a prominent role. Oh and the rebellion, still a pretty rag-tag bunch of pilots with the exact same X-wings from 35 years ago blow up a PLANETARY-SIZED SUPER WEAPON by shooting up a little part of it.
Future-Jedi goes alone to a planet Dagoba with the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy Yoda, presumably to get trained in the next film.
And that's just the lack of originality, not even including the ridiculousness of the fight between Ren and the untrained chobos where Ren, super powerful Sith Lord of the line of Anakin Skywalker LOSES LOOOL, sure he was badly injured but even badly injured Sith are pretty OP. And Ren's completely unnecessary mask just so he can look and sound like Vader xDDDDD
Also Kylo Ren's ears stick out too much for him to be very intimidating, if those got cut off that would be pretty dank though.
I'm really kinda mad that they didn't at least go with some of the extended universe stuff, too. I guess Ben being Leia and Han's kid was pretty correct, and Luke restarting the Jedi. Everything else was like wat though. Finn was rly cheesy, so when he was trying to be serious it didn't really fit that well. Rey was pretty cool, I thought they did that part of the film quite well. The whole "bowcaster is rly strong weapon" thing was super over-played too, felt pretty try-hard to me.
Red classic.
