Issues
1 - Characters are to likable and complex,
2 - Not ever scene is CGI
3 - No Jar Jar Binks, One of star wars fan favorite, likable, funny and crazy, fans love this character and even though hes not the most dramatic character in the series hes definitely a piece of the jigsaw.
4 - George Lucas didn't write and direct. As George Lucas did not write and direct the film it felt his touch was missing, and was kind of like your local newsagents being took over by an oligarch and loosing its community feel??
5 - Not enough dry politics and exposition, Some have spoken about the lack of trade talk, 'senatorial' politics and various moments of dry exposition. Mainly meaning the film s to action based and misses out the boring but interesting sections of the series.
