I've never been offended by the CG sets and ships so much as the CG characters. Even Gollum looks fake to me, and he's still the gold standard for CG characters. I think Gollum worked as well as he did in most places (I especially love his soliloquy in TTT) because of the advanced motion capture they did on Andy Serkis' face and body. Jar Jar, comparitively, was animated from scratch based on Ahmed's movements, but not captured from them.

In the end, CG just has a sheen on the characters that looks totally unnatural, and that's where it loses me.

I caught Ep III last night and realize I can't watch the original cut. Vader's transformation is so weak. Not to toot my own horn, but I really love what I pulled off in that scene. Can't wait for the saga to be re-released in Blu-Ray so I can do this all over again in 1080p, learning whole new ripping and authoring schemes in the process. *rolls eyes* Maybe by then I'll know how to do soft wipes too and will add that missing touch, and perhaps tighten things a little more.
