IMHO CGI are too intangible. The lighting is off or something. As for stop-motion, I find it charming. I wouldn't dismiss a painting because I can see the brushstrokes. The SE often suffers from too much background stuff. Every scene what chok-a-block full of whirling droids and bumbling aliens. At some point it stops being a living universe and starts becoming a needless distraction. And I don't know how someone who balks at the AT-ATs in ESB because they look fake, can even stand to watch the Jabba scene in ANH:SE.

my point was, it's ALL FAKE,

how fake you prefer it, is a matter of choice..

i prefer CG, because i've always been into computer graphics for ages..

that's why the jabba scene, and the prequels don't bother me at all.. i like looking

at all the details/objects etc..

old-school puppets/stop-motion just looks clunky and stands out like a sore thumb

to me now.... not that i can't appreciate the work that goes into it, its just not cost effective

and ineffecient use of time nowadays with better alternatives..

later
