The new trailer for 'The Last Jedi' is fantastic, there is no debating that. However, I have heard a lot of criticism regarding the potential storyline, and the same thing for 'The Force Awakens'. The problem that many people have is that the storylines are similar to the original trilogy. I heard so much about how 'The Force Awakens' was the same as 'A New Hope', yadda yadda, whatever. I do not agree with them at all.
I think that 'The Force Awakens' was a good Star Wars movie. Sure, it had similarities to 'A New Hope', but that does not mean that it is a copy. It was unique in its own way and a fun movie that told a thrilling story and had great character development. I admit that Kylo Ren is not the most intimidating villain out there, and is certainly not Darth Vader. However, I think that he will come into his own as a very quality baddie.
MovieWeb, a great movie blog, recently released a story about how 'The Last Jedi' is the same as 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Now, based on the trailer, there are some similarities, however, again that does not mean that it is the same. There was a person who put together a fan-made trailer that showed the similarities, and it is accurate. But that does not mean that it will not be a unique Star Wars adventure.
I personally, am a huge Star Wars fan, and anytime that theme music comes on and the text roll goes up the screen, its the best time. I think that 'The Force Awakens' was a great space opera film that lived up to the hype it received. I believe that 'The Last Jedi' will do the same, and I disagree with anyone who says that it is just a copy of 'Empire Strikes Back'.

The criticism of similar plots and story lines is a common denominator in any sequel or Movie franchise. Every Star Wars adventure takes us to a different period of time. As a life long Star Wars fan,I am thrilled to see the strong role that women are playing in the new Star Wars movies. Rey, Jyn and Leia have taken on the lead to allow the new generation of fans to evolve in relation to our Society today. At least the Directors, Writers and Producers are recognizing the growing female audience and treating us to some much needed strong role models. That is a unique quality to all the newer Star Wars films.
