Also look at the execution of the plot on screen. Do you really want to compare the original Death Star attack with Starkiller assault side-by-side? Same plot elements can get boring AND pale in quality to the original.
I did compare it. The Starkiller assault was way better than the Death Star attack in the original. Everyone who likes TFA has even stated as much in their review.
All the lolz
I thought that was satire but honestly I’m not sure.
Satire? Come on, Poe flying through that crevice and blowing up the oscillator with his top gun skills was way cooler than when Luke flew down a trench and had to use the force to luckily make the shot because he just wasn’t a very good pilot. Hasn’t everyone that who claims to enjoy TFA agreed on this? In fact all TFA has done is make me realize how awful the original Star Wars was and just how much better it could have been. Now that I have seen a better remake of it I’ll probably just throw my copy of the original in the trash.
