The Force Awakens, 2015’s Star Wars franchise entry, was a rehash of 1977’s Star Wars. Of course, Star Wars’ plot was used twice before in Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace. Now the trailer for the Last Jedi features Imperial walker tanks on a cold, barren landscape, mirroring the Empire Strikes Back. Like Empire, the Last Jedi is almost certain to end on a dark note with evil having stomped good’s face into the mud a little to build dramatic tension for the future third movie in the third trilogy.
How long do you think Star Wars will repeat itself? Can we expect in ten years to see yet another telling of the same damn story?
I guess the Force Awakens wasn’t a total repeat of the first movie though. There was some different stuff about it. For example, did you ever notice that in the first trilogy Luke and Ben always lose in fights to Darth Vader? In fact, they don’t just lose, they surrender. They give up being fighters in the face of their greatest nemesis. In contrast, the prequel trilogy focuses on the martial prowess of the jedi. As does the Force Awakens.
