The Emperor's throne room just shouts 80's night club to me.

It's more the colour and the UV glow than the design which is more power station than throne room (which made narrative sense in ESB).

Jabba's Throne room is a bit better but it still has the cheapening effect of being dressed with Tauntaun props.

Even the enormous and impressive hanger set is let down by the need to be augmented by unavoidably painterly matte frames.

This just feels more real (even with the painting)

Than this :

And it feels like part of the same place as all the other sets.
