The Resistance base looked far too much like a set than a real world location, especially compared to Hoth or Yavin.
You do know they used a real RAF military base for that, right?
Yes. & it doesn’t alter the fact it looked like a set. When I say ‘real world’ I mean within the context of the Star Wars universe. It was one step up from Dr Who using English quarries for alien planets in the 70s. The rather pedestrian way those scenes were shot didn’t help either.
