The other Star Wars characters who wear masks - Queen Amidala, Darth Vader, the clones/stormtroopers, Rey, Finn, Phasma etc.
Very simple symbolism - flew miles above this guys head.
Ok great there are parallels between the old and new films “its like poetry… it rhymes”. All of force awakens was parallel to new hope. (How much parallel is plagiarism?)
Watch 4 then 3 - they're mirror images of each other.
Dont have time to re-watch them but yeah Mr. Plinkett points out many of the similar / mirror elements in his Force Awakens review
