If so, what software are you using, I'd personally love something that could make a dogfight that easy

Guilty as charged: I've never tried to composite a space battle.

However, I have done a bunch of stuff that was impossible in 1975/76, and so I'm extrapolating a little. What you see in any blockbuster movie is the bleeding edge of movie software development, so of course it's still going to be somewhat difficult. But if people are making their own fan films that feature a lengthy Star Wars chase scene (a la Revelations), then it can't be as difficult now as it was when it was done for ESB. I tended toward hyperbole, but my point is simple: suggesting scenes should have been shot in 1975/76 in such a way as can only now be done digitally is a little unfair to the amazing achievements ILM realized way back when.
