That's actually part of the problem with Disney Star Wars, they've taken out a lot of the fantasy elements and focused almost strictly on the sci-fi. Even the prequel trilogy kept the fantasy element fully alive.

I hope you don't mind me saying I'm somewhat skeptical of that claim (the only Disney Star Wars movie I've seen is Episode 7, and I didn't notice what you're saying), but it sounds interesting, so if you want to elaborate a bit about your point of view, I'd be happy to hear it.

Well it was a thought that only just occurred to me when I read the post I was replying to, so it's more like a nebulous concept than something I can put into concise words, but it's just lost a lot of that "fantasy", swords and sorcery feeling for me. Now it just feels more like contemporary people of our own society running around with futuristic tech.

OK cool.

Maybe the way the dialogue is done was a factor? (Now that you brought up the difference, I'm trying to think it over.) George Lucas's dialogue was very archaic/classic. Full of quotable lines and character-defining moments. On the other hand, from what I saw in Episode 7, it was just people speaking like in any other movie. Completely forgettable. Maybe that's one of the elements.
1 up, 6y
Yeah, that's part of it as well, like calling lightsabers "laser swords".

The only Star Trek movie I really liked is the one where they saved the whales.

I wasn't clear. I was referring to the TV Show "Star Trek". But I agree about "Save The Whales". Although I liked "The Wrath of Khan" and the one about Spock, as well

haha, on mine too,,,

I didn't realize till scrolling down after that you hadn't seen The Wrath of Khan. The pause between "Mr" and "Socrates" was borrowed from a line early in the movie.

Yeah, I figured the way you captioned it was something to do with how he speaks in the movie. :-)
1 up, 6y
It's not from the scene in the pic, but I recently had made that into one of my templates as his expression can lend itself into being translated into different tones based on the caption,,,
