For TLJ, a Saturn award, whoa. Maybe fans are wrong and this is a great film? No, the fans are not wrong. This is just politics. Disney is so prolific that they have many critics in their back pockets. And even awards shows to some extent. Answer this question: When has anything made by Disney that has a warrior princess in it ever gotten a bad review (or not been considered for an award)? (Hint: Never.) They own these critics. They have them either intimidated or "bought" with perks. Isn't it interesting how critics were objective when Lucas owned LucasFilm. The prequels were given good to mediocre reviews by critics. Then prequel haters became fashionable after the Plinkett/RLM reviews. Some professional critics started catering to the fanbase counterculture. They started saying that the prequels were universally hated by fans and critics... even though that was never true. (An examination of prequel reviews that came out at the time of their releases proves this). They retconned the facts. Ever since Disney bought LucasFilm the movies have been infallible to critics, especially the episodic films. With very few exceptions they have gushed praise. Sometimes to the point of obvious brown-nosing. That script of Rian Johnson's is crap. I've outlined the reasons why so many times that I'm tired of it. Lots of stuff on the Sci-Fi Channel is better written than TLJ. TLJ just looks much better because of the production budget behind it. I could've written that script! And I'm not even being facetious or presumptuous.

Not really surprising from Frank Oz. He is a gentle and yielding soul. When George Lucas told him that he was going to replace his puppet mastery of Yoda with CGI, Frank didn't even flinch. He was all thumbs up and very complimentary. Never even hinted that he might miss it. He never, ever critiqued/compared the CGI.
