- rigid blue screen cinematography
- 85% CGI Effects vs 15% Practical Effects
Yep. Like TFA and R1 by the way…
Lucas way of filming is rigid (it has always been; the guy is an editor, not a director), not the tools he developed. The “back to practical” trend of TFA/R1 is a marketing joke. Most of Disney’s new movies are CGI/blue-green screens filmmaking with a few props on set just for marketing purposes… And practical effects of the PT are great (Trade federation actors for example).
Didn’t you know? It doesn’t matter that TFA’s story sucks because of the effects they used.
But the Prequels don’t get that pass because of the effects they used.
Also, cool X-Wing’s 'n OT fan-service stuff. A+
The hypocrisy among Star Wars fans isn’t glaring at all.
