- ZanyProgrammer 11y agoExcept Luke didn't murder Vader in cold blood.
- tgb 11y agoYes, but it's still an obvious homage. Father/son meet on narrow path over giant pit, father begs son to join him, son summons the strength to do what his mentors taught, etc. Sure the light / dark sides are swapped but it's very much not subtle.
- mamon 11y agoGiven the fact, that they basically took "New Hope" script and did the remake, with just some minor details changed, then I can bet that Ep. VIII will be the remake of "Empire Strikes Back", in which we will see a heartbreaking scene where Kylo Ren fights Rey and speaks "I am your brother" :) CHALLENGE: when The Force Awakens gets it's DVD release I challenge you to watch it simultaneously (e.g. in two-monitor setup) with New Hope. I am under impression that some plot parallels can be timed to 20-30 seconds accuracy.
