Among Disney’s SW, only R1 and TLJ display high cinematography of the same level seen on Episode I to VI. I really wish Rian had directed Episode IX 😦
First time I’ve ever heard someone extol the prequels as having “high cinematography”. Honestly I think they are among the least creatively shot movies I have ever seen. Even in Episode IV–great as it is–the cinematography is just serviceable.
J.J. Abrams is not nearly as creative as Rian Johnson, but his work in VII is so much better than anything in the prequels.
