Well I'm pleased I'm far from the only one who prefers the OT FX, dated as they may be.
What good is realistic lightning in the PT, or any of the "realistic" CG, when it's dramatically impotent? I don't care how apparently photo-realistic it is, it just does not register in the same way. That extended opening shot in Revenge of the Sith, yes, is technically brilliant. It's also boring. I'd take the opening sequence of Star Wars over that any day.
Many OT FX aged well and set the bases for the PT or the decent FX in our days. But not all! I guess we point the not so good ones right?
I agree that ROTS opening is jaw dropping but it hasnt anything memorable like the opening of ANH.
