I get these "vibes" too DLPB.
The really messed up thing about this is that STAR WARS don't need this kind of advertisement -or facecandy- to make a fuckload of money. It's freaking STAR WARS. Its box office success is already ensured. Sure, it's expected that it'll have a certain production value, but what they should focus on is setting, character, plot and story. You know, to not be the fiasco 1-3 was.
But, hey, there is a reason star wars has that box office security. It's partly (mostly) due to explosions and facecandy. No wonder investors and shareholders (if any) want them to appeal to as many (kids) as possible. More explosions and CGI = more £$¥€ from people who like explosions and CGI. And there is a lot of people who favour explosions and CGI over story. Who cares about being recognised as one of movie-history's marvels when we should focus on making as much £$¥€ as it's possible to make?
On a sidenote, the ewoks can also go... do something with themselves... The only "real" good star wars movie, imo, is 5... And the final scene with Luke vs Darth Vader (but that entails you know the rest of the stuff, so, shrug).
I could get into BBT, were it not for that in-your-face-obvious love interest and the "handsome", "kind-of-normal" nerd lead role. I get some laughs out of it though.
To be nitpicky, it's kinda the same joke told over and over. A real life situation taken to the nerd extreme.
One of my fav comedies is Curb Your Enthusiasm. It starts kinda slow but it gets funnier and funnier.
