7. YES! That is why I am so positive on it. REAL EFFECTS from REAL PILOTS not SUPERHERO CGI

I am soooooo over the Superhero genre. I know many enjoy them, just as I'm glad there are Pixel animations for the kids. But bring me some scripted stories again and let at least SOME of the special effects be real so that we can honor the best that humans can achieve. Not EVERYTHING has to be fantasy-based and sorry, Star Wars fans, movies existed (very good movies) well before the first Star Wars came out in 1977. Comparing EVERYTHING to SW--especially its themes and effects-- is getting old. There was a little thing called WWII (and WWI) that formed the inspiration for movies since the 1940s and which likewise inspired Star Wars.

Rant, off.
