I'm a saga fan. Many of you aren't so I won't bother debating the (imho) relative merits of the PT. What I will say is that Speilberg and Ford are collaborators in this film. Lucas crafted the basic story, sure, but his role is exec producer. Koepp wrote the screenplay (and considering the dreck that was the first Spidey film, that's not an upgrade in my opinion), Speilberg is the director and Ford is more than just the leading man. There are plenty of chefs brewing this stew.

And I think some of you have some really screwy ideas about CGI. It's a tool to achieve a certain illusion, same as any other from the filmmaking trade. If it's a choice between something looking exactly the way the director wants via CGI or else a hackjob, bastardized shadow of how he originally envisioned, I'll take CGI everytime.

Esp since all effects (rubber masks, miniatures, CGI, whatever) all look fake to me anyway so why split hairs over which looks faker?
