For me though, while it rehashes a lot of scenes from Star Wars (the cantina bit being the worst and most unneeded offender), it wasn’t such a big deal.
Was the bar they go to really seen as a rip-off of the bar scene in Star Wars?
I’ve only seen it once, but I don’t remember anything from that scene that copies the one in Star Wars and I was fully expecting it at that point in the movie.
I’m guessing people who have this complaint don’t go to bars.
I think it’s just the general idea of our heroes going to a bar to find a ship at around the halfway point in the movie. If they’d included the Unkar Plutt scene where his arm gets ripped off, that would richly deserve the rehash accusation. As it is, it just feels a bit derivative.
