Again, I do, and I much prefer JP3 over Lost World. Ugh, what a bore.
The Star Wars problem

Lost World feels less dumb, but also more sluggish.
It started out ok, but those characters were annoying. The lead hunter, Roland, was the only one with a really fantastic arc. But, never mind paying attention to him.
It was a baffling decision to not include Dr. Grant.
Yes, re. TPM: More original. Worse flick. Still ep vii's obvious retelling of ANH right down to being based on a desert planet -- perplexing to me, when, yeah, they could've gone anywhere story-wise. I like Rey and the execution of it, however.
I agree with the comment above, comparing Rogue 1 to fanfiction. That seems apt. Explaining a nagging detail and killing everyone off at the end. Meh. It was nice to see the SW universe with a new vibe. But not one I'll watch again.
To echo the comment above, I suppose it's inevitable the tangential SW films will lead to overexposure and lack of specialness.

Ah yes, but Obi-Wan is also a practitioner of point-of-view-fu.Oy.
You are lost.
One of the things I liked about the game Halo: Reach, was that some of the camera movements in the cutscenes were actually motion captured. For example, in one scene the "camera man" steps over a small gap in a cliff side, they actually had someone hold a camera walk over a gap they made in the studio and they captured his movements for the perspective of the in game camera, so it actually felt like someone was a holding a camera and stepping over the gap.
Ohhh Rogue One visuals are a lot better then TFA. There were points were I could have easily mistaken the Star Destroyers as physical models. Then again, they did scan in parts of the original models for the scenes. They also went out and bought the original model kits they used in the OT to make the kitbash greebles on OT Star Destroyers just make them even more authentic.
I just find it amusing that your post recycled PT dialogue.
You may as well have started your OP by saying, "I don't like PT critics. They're course and rough and irritating. And they get everywhere."
I never got the issue with that line. It's both true that he wouldn't like sand, and is fitting in the context of him trying to talk to someone he's infatuated with.
All of the Star Wars films had their visual moments, from Naboo, to the TIES in the sun.
Pretty sure the implication is that *neither* of them have been in a romance. So double trouble.
At the very least Padme is fairly clueless about how her clothing and ambience choices could be sending mixed signals.
Hmmmm, I'm sure you didn't mean this quite the way it reads.....
Are we now back to the classic "But what were you wearing?!" question?
Yeah, reading that back that sounds...unfortunately worded.
What I meant to illustrate was the impression that she was just as naive and inexperienced as he was, hence the awkward, eye-rolling dialogue from *both* of them. Nothing more. Her bizarre wardrobe choices being a symptom of that cluelessness, definitely not a cause or excuse for his behaviour or evidence that she was somehow "asking for it".

I don't see any evidence that Padmé sent mixed signals to Anakin. She was clearly comfortable being alone with him. What happened between them was mutual.
As I literally just explained, that wasn't what I meant.
