In the film JJ Abrams tried to use as many old special effects as he could at every opportunity. The team had to go and learn all the techniques used in the original film so he could re connect both of the films. They used as much in camera as they could which cost the film a lot of money on expensive sets as they didn't used green screen but matte sets instead. JJ Abrams said he wanted to do as much practical as he could.
Problems with the film. Samuel L. Jackson who played Mace Windu said "I think the kids need to go to lightsaber fight school first... They have time to improve" The characters had more aggression than their elders. In JJ Abrams opinion he said that his characters were more about emotion. Most if not all of the characters had 0 training of skill with a lightsaber which caused them to need training.
