@tvaziri Apologies, I didn’t mean to detract from your work on the visuals, or to suggest the professionals employed on the project didn’t deserve the work.

@davidbcohen Makes me wonder why you said it, then. I don’t say this to rag on you, but rather to prod you and others to think about the value of voicing negativity like this when it rarely—if ever—plays well outside people you’re friends with. It’s all risk and no reward, you know? Best to appreciate endlessly and criticize only when you are either among friends or an expert who can provide tailored analysis. Especially when it’s art.

@louie I said it because most people who meticulously analyse sci-fi footage online are ardent fans - and many such fans share a similar view to mine about RotS. I didn’t know he was involved in the production, hence my immediate apology.

Regarding art, there’s a difference between statement art & what goes into mass market entertainment, IMHO. Studios look to make millions off us - as such we do have a right to criticise that overall product as a paying customer.

@davidbcohen pardon me for saying so but your initial response didn’t exhibit credibility to make the remark you did so I’m not particularly inclined to take what you’re saying here any differently. I replied for you to consider, not for you to explain yourself.
