When a student interviewer asks Cameron if he's seen the new Star Wars he begins with the always telling "Weeeeeell...."
Intriguingly, Cameron makes it sound like his thoughts echo George Lucas' (which is not that surprising, considering some of the stuff Lucas had to say about The Force Awakens):
"George Lucas is a friend of mine and he and I were having a conversation about it the other day. I don’t want to say too much about the film, because I also have a lot of respect for J.J. Abrams.”
Ouch! He's going by the old 'if you don't have something nice to say...' rules here.
“I have to say that I felt that George’s group of six films had more innovative visual imagination. This film was more of a retrenchment to things you had seen before and characters you had seen before and it took a few baby steps forward with new characters.”
Black King Finn and Female QUEEN Rey are >>>>>>>>> Luke and all other original Star Wars characters combined. The new generation is talented AND diverse and they are here to stay. George and James can stay pressed, it won't change a thing. Progress will still be made with or without their support.
All due respect to James Cameron (he delivered amazing movies ) but coming from the guy who said Terminator Genysis was good idk. TFA is A New Hope 2.0 though, but the sequel seems to be interesting

He didn't make it though. He's not gonna publicly slam the movie he's executive producing = getting big paycheck
George Lucas's first 6 films had more innovative visual imagination? Maybe the first 3 did before he butchered them but certainly not the re-released versions nor the 2nd trilogy.
TFA >>> every James Cameron film
TFA and it's storytelling that recalled elements of the original trilogy in a bit of a tongue in cheek way as a nod to the fans who saw the originals when they were younger >>> than the plot of every James Cameron film including his wannabe blue-alien Pocahontas rehash.
It was better than the second installment of films. Visually it was more pleasing than the first too - but i wasn't born when they came out, so you could argue that's a generation thing.
