| Guitarguy said: The movie introduced nothing new. George Lucas(as much as he fucked up the prequels) knew this. He said the ultimate story of Star Wars was the tradegy of Darth Vader, which was completely resolved in part 6 when he redeemed himself. He regained his humanity only by the love of his son. It was a beautiful story and that's why it still resonates through multiple generations today and will continue to do so. VII just rehashes the A New Hope with elements of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi infused into it. |
Thanks to Lucas it didn't introduce anything new. If he had not messed up the prequels that bad, they would not have been forced to re-establish the whole franchise with a soft reboot like that. It may even take another movie to gain the trust of the fanbase back before they really can do anything new.
This movie did exactly what it was set out to do. Repair the damage that Lucas himself did to the Franchise. If Lucas don't like it, he should not have sold it.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
