i have been wondering for a while, if little 'hand' shots would look out of place. like a gloved hand of maul pressing a button, or the emperor handing vader a new lightsaber in ROTS. it would be like those shots in captain scarlet and thunderbirds that were like human hands pressing buttons on control panels where the puppets could not.

they wouldnt be too hard to do assuming that the skin colour and costumed sleeve were correct. the wall and panel could be rendered digitally, or maybe the 70s black console and glass buttons could be constructed?

out of curiosity, what did people think of the little addition of luke pressing a button in his x-wing in the asteroid battle? apart from the obvious gloved hand and orange sleeve, did it look out of place? if not then perhaps additional filmed pieces of exposition could really add to these films.
