Just something not relevant to ESB:R but that I read often (even here on OT.com, which surprises me):

Matt.F said:
In fact, like The Force Awakens and Rogue One, Revisited is well served by going back in time and embracing physical model building and costuming.

You should watch a making of TFA and R1, you would be surprised how CGI oriented these movies are. They used the same filmmaking methods developed on the PT (minimal sets, models, props, green screens, cgi creatures, practical ships for close ups and cgi models for action scenes, etc.), except it’s more recent and shot on 35mm film (not digital à la AOTC/ROTS) with OT oriented sets so it might give a “old school” feeling which is only a feeling.

Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzxrwXHCoU
(this EXACT same way of producing the PT was used on TFA and R1. This is how LFL works, this is how any blockbuster works !)
(the only main difference is that the PT used more CGI extras, because of droid and clone armies involved)

(and I’m always shocked by this kind of misinformation, especially when praised whereas SW is a saga that contributed to make huge advanced in the field of vfx: the OT did it, the PT did it, and the new movies as well are trying to do it - CGI Tarkin for example -. This conservative state of mind for sci-fi movies is so weird, as if CGI had become a F word…).

Otherwise I agree with most (except every bit about R1 😉) of your ESB:R review 😃
