But I don't know what you're talking about when you say the CGI in TFA was bad. That was some of the best CGI I've ever seen (with the exception of the motion capture characters.).

Dude, trust me - The talking Orange and the floating hologram were just as bad. There were even a few bad comps. When your eyes are trained to look for these things (not a claim of superiority or anything of the kind, just a result of years of looking at the stuff) it becomes more obvious.
I really enjoyed TFA - thought it was a lot of fun, but the two big CG characters were sub-par to the level of the industry today. There are many reasons for it, but in short, there's a big brain drain on the VFX industry right now, as wages have stagnated, and productions continue to devalued employees. Time and money have been halved, then halved again. Outsourcing is systemic.
Maybe you felt Orange was impressive - well, go back and watch Avatar, or parts of the latest POTA... and you can see we're moving backwards.
