Interesting. I thought SW7 tried but failed to do what Rogue One did.
Too little background story to make the characters interesting. I didn't like the beginning scenes, there were nothing original here. And a Hong Kong style coordinated Kung Fu fight doesn't seem to fit in. The scenes with Darth Vader were lame and boring. I felt a bit like I felt watching the new Ghostbusters, like all of the efforts were there and it had the potential to be good, but it wasn't funny, not exciting, no nothing. It missed the mark.
I didn't like SW7 either, it followed the original trilogy in a very safe and unoriginal manner, even copying a lot of EPIV. But it felt like a better whole, it felt more like a complete movie and the narrative flow was better from scene to scene.
Scarlett was ok in GitS. But again, as I said already when I watched the first trailer, it's going to be surface only. And I was correct. But if they could have been brave enough to have slow paced philosophical moments, it might have came out brilliant. As a movie and seen only as entertainment, GitS is a quite nice watch.
All IMHO, I won't try to
force (lame attempt to be funny) my view on anyone.
