Another SE style thing would be the ship combat scenes. The ST uses no practical scale ship models. (That I’m aware of.)
That’s just the forward march of special effects technology. Heck, the SE’s and bits of TPM used scale models for some material (e.g., the sandcrawler, several TPM ships, etc.).
Maybe, but for all the lip service JJ paid to “practical effects”, it’s Favreau with The Mandalorian that is busting out the miniature ship models.
