was so trendy in aesthetics and gags,

I think you are talking about a problem I had with 7 and this one too. Some of the dialog — especially the humor — just feels so modern. Like after the last movie I can't recall a specific instance, but unlike last time I can say it feels like a lot of it is linked to Poe. I keep wondering if the original trilogy was also using contemporary phrases but I knots don't know it because that's so baked into the culture by now. It's a hard thing for me to nail down.

Go back and watch ANH and ESB. Count the number of ‘jokes’. Not funny lines or moments, but moments that are crafted purely for the audience - that would not exist if nobody is watching.

...

Now do the same thing with 7 and 8. There’s a lot of jokes. All the funny stuff in the original trilogy is motivated based on character.
