No, you’re confusing the rhyming with the rip off. Phantom Menace rhymed, it may not have been great, but it was different. It introduced new ideas, had creativity… it wasn’t just a new empire and new rebels in a dynamic that didn’t even make sense. There was no stand-in for the empire, and no stand in for the rebels. There was no list of analogies going beat for beat, between plot, characters, and even locations.
There’s a difference.
