THE SAME SCRIPT AWAKENS

EXT. SPACE, 30 YEARS AFTER ROTJ
Rey is Luke. Finn is funny. Poe should be dead, but I liked Oscar Isaac - we’ll keep him.

It’s the same plot as A NEW HOPE, but with Han as Old Ben - the mentor figure. Rey lives on Tatooi- Jakku, a desert planet, and her father is Anaki- Uhm, Obi-Wan, but we’ll keep that info until EP 8. There is a new deathstar, but BIG DUFFERENCE: it is much more enormouser!!! Gigantic!

The new villain is unsure yet, but I might have to write him himself… bleh, boooring! I’ll ask George for ideas on this one!

The movie ends pretty much the same way as ANH, but I WANT BIG LIGHTSABER FIGHT IN END! I WANT THE MOVIE TO FEEL NEW!!

I found J.J’s first script draft while traveling through Disneyland yesterday. It was inside his car. I broke into it.

C’mon, guys. There’s no way he’s being serious here.

I can’t tell if you’re being serious and need a Ric pic, or not.

Anyone who thinks he really broke into JJ’s car doesn’t deserve an explanation.

Glad to see this thread is still the same 'ol thing.

Nuh-uh it isn’t.

Any thread with Fink in it will turn that way. His petulance is legendary.

Pro tip: it really works him over the most when you ignore all of his I-just-can’t-help-myself replies.

Thanks for the laugh.

The worst thing about TFA is not that it is a rehash per se. The worst thing is that its sotryline is a complete shit.

In a good plot, elements naturally lead from one to another, are indispensable with respect to each other and (most importantly) all have a strong connection to the plot objective. On the other hand, TFA shitty “plot” is just a combination of random elements completely unrelated to the plot objective (i.e. search for Luke).

Nevertheless, the fact that they put so many unrelated rehash elements into the film played a major role in storyline becoming a disjointed unrelated pile of crap.

Thanks for the rehash yet again. Everyone knows you didn’t get what you wanted for the film and you’re mad about it.

If you would just put it in your signature then you wouldn’t have to keep randomly saying it unprovoked.

Whenever he discovered the theme or premise for his screenplay, Paddy Chayefsky used to write it down on a piece of paper and tape it on his typewriter, so that nothing he ever typed wouldn’t reinforce that central idea of what his story was all about.

Unity of composition

Someone else described TFA quite well: they said it was more like an amusement park ride than a story. Just a device for whirling you around from one Star Wars visual to another.

I just wanted bare minimum - a decent storyline with well-structured plot. Unfortunately I did not get it.

Ah, there’s Fink’s petulant response again. Right on time.

I do not think that word means what you think it means, Vizzini.

Not to mention the fact that I’m 100% correct.

I get the impression some of the people in this thread are the same split personality forever battling itself, maybe even agreeing with itself too.
