but I can't help but agree with HairyHen that something is missing that lacks the Star Wars feeling. To me it not only doesn't quite feel Star Wars, but it certainly doesn't look it.
I can explain it - it looks too polished. It's Star Wars, but (figuratively) photoshopped to death.
It looks to be full of good intentions, but they quite simply did too much.
The next one could be rescued by the filmmakers restraining themselves and stripping out all the gloss, but it wouldn't make business sense. People have become used to primary coloured, hyperactive junk such as Transformers, Fast and Furious, etc.
