If you had to pick, which continuity would you choose?

Fact: it was unoriginal. Fact: it was a cheap rehash of anh.

Hard to answer. Legends probably.

Rebpulic and Jedi comis, all of Luceno's books, Shatterpoint - best sources imo

A new hope wasn't original either. Cheap is being used subjectively here so no matter how vehemently you disagree it's still an opinion. You can't get around that.

HAHAHA So Quanchi admits he was disappointed in TFA and that it's not his favourite or even 2nd favourite SW film, yet he's going around accusing me of being a Hater..

Oh the Bandwagon Troll really is an idiot. I've clearly messed with his head. He's obsessed with me.

Think you're missing the point. TFA was unoriginal in terms of Star Wars. TFA was a rehash of OT. YOU can't get around that fact.

I admitted this right after I saw the film. I said its my third favorite thus it fell below my expectations. I didn't go around damning the film like you did though. I unlike you am honest and don't flip from Star Wars character to character like a Star Wars groupie. Dooku, Maul, now Vader. You're all over the map.

A New Hope wasn't original either. Whether you liked it or not is subjective. You can't get around this but continue to try.

People who claim ANH wasn't Original are really desperate in their Lucas hate and support for Abrams.

ANH borrowed from here and there, but formed something Very Original in the process.

To compare that to Abrams copying SW to make a new SW film, is the argument of those who don't really get what made Star Wars so special and so beloved in the first place.

Great attempts at rationalizing though 👆

I was willing to give New-EU a chance, as I saw the chance for three factions to be kind of interesting, but then the main saga blew up the entire government for the New Republic.

I found that really jarring..

"Like yeah! We finally have a new government in place!"

"Hey what's that?"

BOOM!

So all that time and effort, fighting the GE and establishing a new government entirely for nothing.

Abrams isn't known for his originality.

You criticized force awakens for the same thing a new hope was guilty of.

They both borrowed a lot.

What made it special to you. You don't speak for anyone else. You never did understand that. I myself think a force awakens is way more enjoyable than a new hope. Get mad.

Both copied. Who cares ? Force awakens was better than a new hope IMO. Your opinion isn't a fact.

No, both didn't copy. Copying elements from various other movies isn't the same as copying or rehashing the original version of the movie, no matter how much you want to rationalize or are butthurt about these "facts". Also ANH>TFA is pretty much universal. Stop crying.

Maybe around Kenobis level in the force or less

Hard to say

Both copied from other films. Fact. Did Skywalker beat Vader at the end of A New Hope ? They weren't the same film. Fact. Was Palpatine shown in a new hope ? Come on and answer the questions, psmith.

I did. The universal attitude is that tfa is a rehash of anh. It doesn't have to be 100% similar. It can be 80% similar and be called a rehash. And it's pretty universal that tfa doesn't compare to anh.. Now stop crying because you liked such a stupid movie.
