AlonFinally watching the Star Wars sequel trilogy with Cid. The Force Awakens is just a woke remake of A New Hope. Rey is the new Luke (more Mary Sue-ish with the Force, less so with ace piloting), and Kylo Ren is Temu Darth Vader and all the other First Order characters are Temu Empire too.
Honestly, my main objection to the film is that in plot and aesthetics the First Order is the new Empire (and this makes sense on screen, with Kylo Ren very explicitly a Vader wannabe), but then the film shows us the New Republic exists and Coruscant is under its control, so why is it a resistance vs. empire plot and not a symmetric total war?
Benjamin Geer@Alon I liked the second one, The Last Jedi, I thought it was a bit more original than The Force Awakens.
