About this comic

This comic humorously critiques the similarities between Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode IV) and The Force Awakens (Episode VII). The dialogue asks, “Is there any difference between IV and VII?” with the punchline revealing the answer: “The year of manufacture.” The imagery highlights familiar elements like a Death Star lookalike, a droid-related plot twist, and a freighter, poking fun at how The Force Awakens feels like a modern remix of the original. The hashtags like #mashup and #ripoff amplify the playful jab, suggesting the repetition may be more about nostalgia and selling toys than originality.

The joke plays on how fans noticed striking parallels between the two films, presenting it with a tongue-in-cheek perspective. By pointing out these shared elements, the comic offers a lighthearted take on the way franchises often rely on familiar formulas while still managing to captivate audiences.
