If anyone loves Star Wars and hasn't watched TCW's, get on it!

A major issue with the prequels is how much of them focused on what they were capable of doing with effects. The problem with that is that the effects became quickly dated. So in the present, we have a movie that is based on outdated effects. It gives them a real Sharknado vibe.
It's the same reason the updates to the original trilogy are now widely disliked.
It's also part of what makes characters like Jar Jar especially bad. Not only were they annoying, but they were given increased focus in order to highlight the fact they'd created a full CGI character. Now in retrospect you have a bad CGI character that has more screen time than he should have.
