The only thing the review even said was that the plot was cliche. Because really, that was the only bad part of the movie (aside from the dodgy line here and there).

How is that not a major issue though? LOL Seriously you name any other franchise and people would be the decrying it as a failure but oh no its Star Wars so its okay

Because everything else about it was good.

It's lazy writing when you use the same plot device for the THIRD time. I mean, even in the movie, they tried to say it wasn't just another Death Star because of the size alone... But it did the same thing, and (again) got blown up by a handful of small fighters.

Anyone can re-use a plotline, but the way it was done was exceptional. Sound? Acting? Cinematography? Characters? Environments? Battle Scenes? Why no mention of any of this?

Because plot is the whole point of the movie. Yeah, the other stuff was grand... But it was ultimately meaningless because the main point of the movie (I.e. The plot) was a total let down. It was lazy writing... Same lazy writing in Return of the Jedi.
