   Anyone with eyes and a brain who has seen it can tell it's just a lazy   
   reboot. Virtually every review says it too.   
      
   Young Force user (doesn't know it) on a desert planet ... check   
   Abandoned young Force user (a la Rebels) ................ check   
   Lost droid trying to deliver a message .................. check   
   Criminal hangout palace ................................. check   
   Jabba the Hutt-style fat slob ........................... check   
   Old fool who gets killed ................................ check   
   Planet destroying super-weapon .......................... check   
   Super-weapon destroyed by "rebels" ...................... check   
   Baddie Force user in black mask and cape ................ check   
   Mask-wearing taking orders from baddie hologram ......... check   
   .

   and the list goes on   
   .

   Lazy-ass reboot by talentless hack? ..................... DEFINITELY

   Oops! You're right. I was thinking of the US DVD / Blu-ray release date   
   (5 April), rather than the iTunes release date (1 April - fittingly   
   April Fool's Day since the movie was the biggest joke yet on Star Wars   
   fans).   
      
   The DVD  / Blu-ray doesn't get released here in New Zealand / Australia   
   until next week (13 April).
