Balls. The footage proves my point. Or maybe you have the acrobatic skill to leap over a death pit or run around the sides while a line of armed men fire laser bolts at you? In which case I’m impressed but you aren’t Luke.

I fail to see how this is in any way analogous to Rey, Finn, and Chewie watching Han and Ren talk.

There are many similarities between ANH and TFA but I can’t accept that these two scenes qualify.

If you can’t see that at a plot level the whole sequence is essentially the same, I don’t think you ever will. So rather than describe what I see again and again as clear lift from the earlier film and bore you into submission just take it that that is how I see the thing and sincerely to the point of being irked. 95% of people going by the made up piece of technology I’m looking at right now agree with you. For me TFA was a cynically constructed marketing exercise with great acting and nice art design and those scenes are parallel to each other. Maybe and it’s probable I’m utterly insane and have no special insight to give the world on anything. But that’s the way I see it folks.
