8 gets a lot of hate along with the rest of the sequels, and I remember being pissed off of its scorched earth treatment of every single plot point from 7 after watching it in the movie theatre, but looking back… at least it tried to be original. The scenes are visually memorable, and its message that even nobody can rise up to be a hero, is miles better than… whatever the 9 did with Rey.
I can’t understand why people think it was original. It felt like the storylines from ESB and RoTJ were thrown into a blender.
Like when the they go with Benicio del Toro I initially thought “well he’s going to betray them like Lando did”. But then I thought “nah… that’s too obvious” But nope, it didn’t do anything new other than removing the point of Lando’s plotline.
When Kylo Ren kill Snoke, it was just like Vader killing the Emperor.
I guess it’s original because it’s the only Star Wars movie where Luke Skywalker dies? Even then he faded away like Obi Wan did, but I guess because it’s Luke Skywalker it’s different somehow? Maybe because he cast an illusion spell before it happened? Like what’s actually original in TLJ?
