6. The First Order – 1942 Said What?
Knock offs sometimes work. People can pay homage to past success and make references to amazing material from decades past. However, with the First Order, we have an idea of what exactly is happening with this wannabe group from the famous book 1942. It’s not only an old tried and tired idea, but theHunger Games series pretty much rolled out a very similar homage without actually ripping off the classic novel. The First Order is also so small in scope. We don’t get a real feel of their power. They have some Generals who seem to be running the show on ships while a crazy holograph on a throne gives orders. It is one of the oddest displays over power. And then The First Order starts blowing up entire solar systems with such ease, one wonders where this all came from. There is absolutely no build up to this kind of display of power and we don’t have the opportunity to feel for the victims and root for the Rebels.
