Well then why are you in a thread about TFA being more original?
Because I made this thread to prove a point to everybody, including myself, that JJ Abrams went in a good direction with the Force Awakens.
I don’t want to put someone down, but I haven’t seen a whole lot of good “original” ideas (making the bad guy look like a good guy, making a Star WARS movie with barely any WARS, etc.). I wanted to see if the people who did not like the Force Awakens could be better while being more original than Abrams, and I do NOT stand corrected. The Force Awakens is a great movie.
If you’re still worried about originality with Episode 8 and 9, I can tell you those are in great hands. There might be subversions in the Force Awakens we can’t even see yet because of Episode 8 and 9.
