Idk if original stories is something you can give it. The bigger death star is far from the only plot point lifted directly out of episode 4. Seriously, go back and watch ep 4 and ep 7 it’s almost shot-for-shot (not really but for some of the story beats it could be).
Maybe what you’re saying is that the character back stories are original which, kinda.
Idk how you could reach that conclusion. Maybe you watched 7 and haven’t seen 4 in a while. It’s not just your John Wick example. The movie is pretty shameless about lifting the structure of 4, it’s not some subtle nuanced technicality.
