I’d honestly always assumed the Death Star animation in Star Wars was just animation, made to look ‘computery’. Curiously, with all the changes Mr Lucas has made to the original, that often look like out of place CGI, how he hasn’t changed this scene showing this technologically advanced society using primitive looking wireframe graphics is beyond me. Not that I’m calling for such a change. There’s been enough burying of the groundbreaking work of people who worked on the original OT as it is.
