As I said before, I don’t like that TFA has so much OT’s references and recycled events. Now, I’m not questioning whether this is good or not, but do you think they’ll keep going in this direction for the next episodes too? Should they keep going, to you?
I suspect they will, anyway: if you think about it, this is a trend lots of franchises follow nowdays and, in the worst case, it’s just “more of the same”. If true, why? Is it easier then doing something new? Or does people actually like it? In general, I’d rather watch the same movie again and again, than a sequel that feels the same.
