I’ve always been somewhat fascinated by the fanaticism I’ve seen in regards to defending the Prequel Trilogy. But it’s amazing how far removed from reality their latest tactics are:

The BIG difference between the PT and the new movies is that they actually used models and miniatures with motion control shooting while the new movies are using tons of CGI instead for the very simple reason that is the way it’s done now. In terms of practical effects it’s no-contest. The PT wins hands down.

PT spaceships were minatures, they weren’t in TFA…but PT aliens were mostly cartoon-like CGIs vs mostly state-of-the-art puppets/animatronics in TFA. So….50/50 haha.

Is this a joke?! The Force Awekens have more CGI than any other Star Wars movie. Prequels actually used more practical sets and miniatures than original trilogy. In TFA every ship, every space shoot is complete CGI. In prequels ships in space are miniatures. Practical effects.

Anyone else seen some odd examples lately?
