It's an 18 year old movie you dummy, and you're complaining it looks outdated.
Hey guess what? ANH has outdated practical effects. Clearly that means ANH is shit 😂

TFA needs more outdated CGI, political dialogue, a horrible child actor, every actor sounding dry and emotionless, and Gungans if it wants to compete with the masterpieces that are TPM and AOTC.
Indeed it lacks those, but makes up for it with a recycled script from ANH, a clearly PC cast, sacrifice of OT characters in clear favour of said PC cast, a shallow Palpatine-esque villain, a shallow Death Star ripoff, a comparatively lackluster score, the destruction of the New Republic government being glossed over in a couple of seconds, Rey being far more of a Mary Sue than Anakin or Luke ever were, and a helicopter shot to end the movie. And the setting was very poorly established, IMO, moreso than TPM.
For what it's worth, they didn't completely abandon practical effects in TPM like they did in AotC and RotS. There are some scenes that look real in TPM. TPM had plenty of shitty, goofy moments and the Gungans were a ****-up, but at least it attempted to be original. That's a huge, huge step-up from the HD, 3D re-release of ANH.

Lmfao @ people losing enjoyment because the leads are a women and a black guy. It's called representation, and the fact that it bothers you is beyond me. I barely noticed.
I don't have problems with representation, and I support most of the left-leaning movements these days. I don't mind that the lead's a famel or black, just that they could've been less conspicuous about their leanings towards the PC movement. And maybe on it's own it wouldn't be noticeable, but it was definitely noticeable once they began to sacrifice the OT characters in favour of them. Leia going straight to hug Rey and ignoring Chewie after Han's death is what I'm talking about.

If they make Finn queer, they're pushing an agenda tho
Anyways, I think someone confirmed that there will be a gay character in TLJ, really looking forward to the bitching if that turns out to be true. 🙂

Nah, on it's own it might be a pile-on of PCness but it won't detract from the film itself. Maybe if they make Leia go straight to hugging him and ignore Luke then it'll be a problem. 👆
Originally posted by SunRazerLess conspicuous how? And they announced even before castings I believe that the sequel trilogy was going to focus more on the new characters and not the OT characters, since the ST is supposed to be "passing the torch". I'm 99% sure it had nothing to do with a liberal PC agenda. Also, IIRC, Leia hugging Rey was a mistake and Leia was actually supposed to hug Chewie, but I might be wrong on that.

As I said, Leia hugging Rey and ignoring Chewie is my main gripe. Just having newer characters and focusing on them is natural.
And maybe having a genuinely diverse cast instead of just a PC-favoured cast would help. They did have Poe, I guess. As I said, not too big of a gripe, but the Leia scene definitely stood out and costs the film some points. Sure it was a mistake, but that doesn't excuse it. That's simply going to be an unfavourable part of the comparison against TPM.
