Well, you could argue that there’s a limit on how much, or how many times you could steal an idea. ANH may have borrowed from everyone, and that’s what makes it so good. However TFA borrowed entire plot points, not to mention that it’s SW stealing from itself.
However, I really liked TFA. But it’s a tad too casual an action film for me to be any more than a 6/10. I also don’t put any SW above 8, ROTJ took a bit more time with the plot so for me it’s a 7/10. Now if I was rating these films 1-100 I’d probably give ESB an 85 and TFA an 65.
I really do have to stick to the claim that the way ANH borrowed ideas is noticeably different from what TFA did. That doesn’t make it bad, but for me it doesn’t make it better.
