Yeah there weren't by much of aliens in my perception either and if there were it was really awful use of them in certain scenes. They replaced all that with making sure they got their asians and black people in there for the SJW points.
Outside of all the SJW stuff, Disney just has no idea how to do good character development or atmosphere. One of the first things I remember is comparing the cantina scenes. In the first Star Wars, they head into this scummy dive bar. It's dirty, there's weird creatures all around, you've got a grumpy bartender that isn't friendly or welcoming at all. For God sake, in the matter of what?, ten minutes there are TWO deaths and apparently it's so commonplace that the other patrons stop for a few seconds then just go right back on doing what they were doing.
Then in Disney #1 you've got the same setup--going to a supposedly creepy cantina that has more of the vibe of a Buffalo Wild Wings than a dive bar. Run by a friendly orange thing that makes a perfect stuffed animal and isn't really hostile at all. Then there's a big scene that's supposed to be a bunch of suspense from a pile of rubble in what is I guess the hallway that leads to the kitchen and the restrooms?
I didn't mind the first Disney movie and I didn't pick up on a lot of the SJW and perfect-woman stuff until later. I just was disappointed because the world development that I always loved about Star Wars wasn't there anymore. It was replaced with something from the Avengers.
Because I have a feeling that the SJWs overlap heavily with the types who think that any sapient character who isn't human-looking enough to be sexually attractive is "silly and childish" and would probably prefer to get rid of the Wookiees, too.
