Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I don't pretend to know J.J.'s inner muse but I honestly don't think he's as pedestrian as trying to just rehash "Old Star Wars". However, there's also the extremely strong pull to bring back the satisfaction of that old Star Wars to the multitude of people who felt they were left empty by something that was as unfamiliar as the prequels, and there are few ways to get back that nostalgia other than mixing in some elements of what we are familiar with in the OT.
I certainly hope there won't be a cold environment in Ep. VII because between the desert environment and now a snow/cold environment it sounds like JJ & co. are out to make a Stars Wars paint by numbers movie by incorporating every element that we saw in the OT into this new one. Desert environment/Tattooine, check; snow & ice world/Hoth, check; stormtroopers, check. I really hope that we're not going to get reports of them doing an Endor forest like world as well because that will really confirm my paint by numbers suspicions.
