Anyone who went in wanting ANH, but not expecting it to be quite as good, got what they wanted. People like me, who wanted ESB, but not as good, were disappointed.
Maybe you’re right? ANH is my favorite movie and I went in expecting a not-as-good modern retelling and got what I wanted. In my mind, since I expected rehashed elements, I was delighted by the little twists and ways things were different than ANH, but was also able to accept the way the film was reminiscent of ANH, both in structure and spirit.
I’m sorry if you and others can’t appreciate the film due to its lack of originality, but I can only hope you guys might be able to enjoy it then next time you see it and know what to expect.
