None of it is original. Like do you honestly think there will be anything original in Captain America Civil War? Wow, they even have spider man show up at the end! Never seen him before! Wish he'd get his own movie though since we haven't had any of those lately...
If you want to take the word "unoriginal" to such an extreme that there's no such thing as an original thought, then I guess I can't argue with you... But I'm talking about this kind of uninspired laziness:


Attack of the Clones


Revenge of the Sith


Rogue One


A New Hope


Return of the Jedi


The Force Awakens



I get it, the Death Star was awesome in A New Hope, but does it really need 3 movies of backstory before it inevitably gets blown up? Is there anything else awesome going on in this universe, or is that it? Because sphere-shaped superweapons are kinda played-out.

It's like they're admitting that they can't come up with anything better than A New Hope, so they keep orbiting that time period when Star Wars was fresh and new, rather than just making Star Wars fresh and new again (hence the Han Solo, Boba Fett and Obi Wan Kenobi spinoffs)... It's the laziest way to make a buck, but everyone seems to be comfortable that their standards are in the shitter (as you've basically admitted), so I guess Disney doesn't really have to try that hard to get your money.
