17. Death Star Rehash

The idea of a giant planet-destroying weapon, first seen in the original Death Star, was used again in The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker. Starkiller Base and the Sith fleet felt like uninspired retreads rather than fresh threats. The repetition made these moments less impactful and predictable. Introducing new, creative weapons or challenges could have heightened the stakes and made the sequels more distinctive. Instead, relying on this formula diluted the tension and made the overarching story feel repetitive and less innovative.
