Yeah, didn’t think I could find it in a short amount of time. I didn’t know blurcle was the proper name for that either. 😉

Yes. Really! Yes. The CGI Wookiees stick out like a sore thumb.
[…] You’d think they would shoot the practical Wookiees from as many angles as possible, swap around their gear to make them look different each time, and build up a crowd shot that way.

😄 They look like screenshots from the “Star Wars Battlefront” video game series! I guess it was “good enough” for GL, as he used to say 😉

Fast? Check.
Intense? Check.
Good work, everyone. Under-budget bonuses all around!

Back to speculation of Celebration please. Don’t wanna discuss prequel stuff

Anyone willing to updated the good cgi effects in the original trilogy to today’s standards?

JawsTDS’s thought process is bound to be more interesting than any Celebration speculation.

It’s one thing for a thread to naturally drift off-topic, and another to purposefully turn the wheel hard to the right into oncoming traffic.

Makes me wonder what percentage of the film he shot whilst sitting in his chair, in a green screen room, in front a few monitors, before finishing his first coffee of the day 😉

There are times where I hold the prequels in such high regard that I can’t believe what I’m looking at… this is one of those times. I had to go into a frame-by-frame analysis to see that it WAS from ROTS. It was a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment. My apologies.

Well, there goes my dignity, and my respect for this film.

Arguably, watching ROTS frame by frame is penance enough.

Which means Frink will be eligible for sainthood when he finishes his edit. 😉

Funny that the site I usually pull SW screenshots from didn’t have that particular shot, which plunged me into doubt.

I found it myself while editing awhile back.

It looks like that shit for a little under a second so they probably figured people wouldn’t notice. There a bunch of these wonky stuff in those films. Who can forget that classic pic of Dooku escaping in AOTC (wish I had it handy).

Anyone have that shot of Dooku from AOTC?

You really can’t lump that shot from Jedi in with bad prequel CGI. There are probably lots of fight scenes in old movies where if you went frame by frame, you could see the blows don’t actually connect.
Boba looking like he’s hanging from a zip line however…

I’m not, I just found it while searching for the other one.

R2 looks like shit for almost the entirety of his screentime in that film.

R2 looks like shit for the entirety of both AotC and RotS. Heck, even the physical prop in TPM looked wonky as for some reason they decided to make his dome matte instead of glossy and reflective.

I must’ve noticed that subconsciously in the theater on opening day, but Artoo still looked like Artoo.

It’s CPY having never looked at all like the original Yoda that always stood out to me. The story I heard once about how that puppet was intended merely as a placeholder to be replaced with a cg model in post would kind of explain things. Still, would it really have been so complicated to just get the puppet looking the way it did in Empire?
