Lucas is a brave man to risk so much with untried technologies. and he certainly paved the way for a lot more digital-only high end cinema in the future.

but i think in 50 years, when all has passed, people will watch the OT and it will withstand suspension of disbelief. The PT is going to look like a Playstation 6 game - it will be absolutely juvenile looking. Being in the the effects and editing industry, I applaude the effort - it is really ming boggling. But it was too much too soon. It looks pretty today, but I still find myself fixating on the CGI so much I lose attention to the story.

And not only that, he spent so much time in a technology mind, it's pretty obvious he forgot about the cornerstones of filmmaking like acting, so no one will forgive the effects.
