TFA ripped off Star Wars; the overall plot, some details, and then borrowed various chunks of the sequels. Also, I meant nobody here said that Star Wars was original. Though, after all that it borrowed, it still managed to be an original film, because of it’s design. It took a whole lot from older sources, and then built on them. You can’t give one specific thing that Star Wars was ripping off, because it wasn’t a ripoff. And this thread is about TFA being unoriginal in context with the other Star Wars films, and people are bringing ideas together to make it more original. My post from above explains why the necessary level of originality cannot be achieved, because straying too much from the original films makes it hardly a SW film, but being close makes it feel unoriginal.
