I think that's a totally valid aesthetic preference, obviously, even if it's not one that I share. The prequels do have a lot of cool shit in them.

The one thing I'm not sure I agree with is that the aesthetic of the original movies and TFA is "less realistic". Like, to a certain extent, you could say that's true of the original trilogy because the special effects weren't there. But they're there in TFA. And I don't see how the more weathered, lived-in look those movies share is less realistic, specifically.

TFA didn't look realistic to me. There was too much obsesssion with the models of the OT where CGI would just have looked better. And some of the more modern effects they tried didn't work, like the rathtars that didn't look real at all. They just looked silly.

Rogue One did a better job of looking both lived-in and realistic. They managed the OT aesthetic but also looked believable to me.

Re: OP

Fair enough.

Re: OP

I'm the exact opposite. I thought the PT looked too clean and plastic-y. So much of it was CG that didn't mesh well with the few in-camera effects.

RO did it much better by using touches of CGI to enhance the practical effects.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Me too. I think RO had the perfect balance of the gritty, grimy look of the originals and CG effects.

Re: OP

My thoughts exactly. The prequels always looked kind of fake to me.

I'm with you, but I have issues with 70s and 80s movies in general. I love movies right up through most of the 60s but then you get towards the 70s and my enthusiasm just plummets. There are still some movies from that era I really like, but overall there's something that just doesn't work for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I also like shiny more than gritty. I really liked Padme's shiny ship, and the really lush offices the senators have and how cool the Jedi Temple looked. I also loved the look of Naboo. I think Scarif could have captured that if we'd been shown more of it. I also loved the costumes in the prequels, especially Padme's dresses.

There just felt like there was more color and richness in the prequels, which aligns with my tastes. I think the only design in the new movies that I really liked is Kylo Ren's and the First Order's uniforms. However, I like the designs in the Vanity Fair issue of the casino world. I think the prequels just went to more places or went to places that had more kinds of people (so more chance to see interesting stuff). So far we've been pretty narrowly focused on Resistance/Rebellion vs Imperial/FO, which are military and so can't indulge in strange designs. I hope that changes and we get to go to new places in the sequel trilogy.

[(Anonymous)]

I love the concepts of a lot of the designs in the PT, but it's just not rendered well. The CGI is almost always bad.

[(Anonymous)]

The prequels looked really flat to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Some parts of the prequel looked great to me, particularly Naboo and Coruscant, but then other places looked way too modern and clean when they shouldn't have.
