I think it could become the new standard, but someone has to make a good movie with it first. The only other film that has done bluescreen work to the extent Lucas has done (that I know of) was "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". Which basically consisted of actors on set. Everything else was computerized. And it failed. Miserably. And I'm sure someone will say "Hey! I liked Sky Captain, you stupid InfoDroid!"

But the fact remains - it was a horrible, miserable failure. It's the only film in my life that I actually walked out on. And if I didn't love Star Wars so much, I'd probably say the same thing about TPM.

It's been proven that (up to this point) bluescreen effects are best when used sparingly, as a last resort, when no other option is possible (i.e.- Jurassic Park, Titanic, Lord of the Rings).

And what "movement", Darth Simon? Maybe a bowel movement.

But... The waters are being tested (which is cool) and time will tell. And although I have enjoyed parts of the Prequels and am totally amped up for ROTS, I'm just sorry he had to use Star Wars as his guinea pig.
