Besides the fact it plays on the planet, it has so many references you could say it’s almost a 1:1 shot-by-shot remake of the Falcon’s escape from the DS (I think someone also posted a gif depicting this).No you can’t. You can’t tell me that Han and Luke shooting at TIE Fighters while the Falcon was pretty much flying without movement is the same as the chase scene in TFA where Rey is doing maneuvers to evade the TIEs even to the point of setting up that circus shot at the end. Also having it be in a desert and inside of a Star Destroyer adds a completely different dynamic to the chase whereas in SW where it’s just in space.
😄 Exactly what I said: the difference lies in the fact they’re still on the planet, so you have Rey doing maneuvers to the avade the TIEs. Compared to what was done in the PT (in AOTC/TESB’s asteroid chase sequence, for example, where only the setting was shared, but what happend was different) there are so many visual references 75% of the scene plays the same as in ANH, it’s a fact.
Also the gif is just the movement of Han and Finn in the seat. Which is really the only thing you can accurately compare.
There are much more references, watch it here. It’s a clear remake, minus the fact they’re on the planet.
Right, but for Luke and Anakin journeys to mirror the way I said, it necessarily had to.
There’s other ways he could have lost his hand. But then again why is mirroring right in the PT but is bad in the ST?
The PT has a solid reason to make Anakin’s journey mirror Luke’s, but can you tell me what character mirrors who in the OT and for what reason?
TFA had no reason to make Rey’s journey to Luke’s, though, so it’s fine.
Neither did Anakin’s. They could have made it so there were similarities here and there but just like TFA they went overboard with it. In this regard even moreso.
I disagree.
But Rey’s journey isn’t over yet so other similarities may arise.
Similitarities with who or what and why?
If we’re comparing movie to movie it’s definitely an overt mirroring. Certainly more overt than Han’s death.
It all comes down to the reason one would mirror two characters or situations.
