But seriously, I’ve seen these arguments before and they’re really dumb. People getting upset over the fact that a sequel has heavy similarities to its predecessor. If people really think that TFA sucks because it’s too similar to ANH then they must also hate ANH for being too similar to The Hidden Fortress
People complaining about the similarities aren’t even the “dumb” arguments against TFA. We also have people complaining about TIE Fighters having two seats, that there are too many shots of the Millennium Falcon and that TFA is the worst Star Wars movie because the characters get along with each other. And that’s a drop in the bucket compared to some of the other “criticism” I’ve heard regarding the film.
