between mirroring (what Episode I did) and rehashing (what Episode VII did).
And I have to comment on this: "The reason TFA was better than The Hobbit, is because it stayed true to the familiar universe, it didn't go all digital, it used practical effects where possible, it stayed respectful to the franchise, it didn't try to one-up the previous films with ridiculous stunts, and the callbacks/references/easter-eggs didn't seem forced in (all things the prequels, and The Hobbit, did wrong)."
1) I'm kind of confused as to what you expected with the PT? The point of it was to show a civilization at its golden age, and it did exactly that. It makes sense things would look sleeker and cleaner.
2) Star Wars is a fantastical story. It shouldn't be bound to using things that are "practical." It's a galaxy where anything is possible - it's not supposed to be realistic.
3) It wasn't about one-upping. The Jedi in the prequels were in their prime - of course they would be able to perform crazy feats with the Force.
4) The callbacks in TFA didn't seem forced but the callbacks in the PT did? I am genuinely wondering if we even watched the same movies.
