Yeah, Jedikev, it would seem so. Think of all the summer blockbusters nowadays that depend on special effects or giant explosions. Eye candy, in other words. It's really rather ironic. Back when George Lucas first made Star Wars, pretty much all special effects had been done away with. He revived them, but now it's grown into a monster that he no longer has any control over. It's like in the Gary Kurtz interview, where he said that around Raiders of the Lost Ark, Lucas came to the conclusion that movie-goers were more interested in the "roller coaster ride" than the actual story, so his movies began to focus more on special effects with the story used simply as a means to propel the viewer from one special effects scene to the next. It's rather sad to think that he took us from one side of the spectrum to the other...
