I count six thus far.- "Tatooine is a remote desert planet" landscape shot...multiple suns optional.
- Somebody references Jabba and/or Boba Fett...probably in a way that's just slight enough for people to feel like it's an "in" joke even though everybody gets it.
- Imperial Walkers.
- Either Darth Vader's image, or a villain who is styled to remind us of him.
- We see an underside shot of a Star Destroyer as it passes over. The Imperial March is a given.
- A huge boss ship. Probably black. Or a planet sized weapon blows up.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

He was the most forgettable villain in the history of villains. Well wait, who was the other one in Attack of the Clones? The robot with all the arms? Did that guy even have a name?

I predict that I will like The Phantom Menace more than The Force Awakens. Possibly also Attack of the Clones.

Whatever, you hate him and you know it. Stop acting like a wounded animal here. What I've said isn't absurd. Whatever credit you've given him has been buried beneath mountains of disdain for his style and shortcomings. It's fine if you don't generally care for the guys work.
