I didn't say i was planning on making the interiors more like the OT, i have said that i want some of the CG backgrounds to look less like a video game and more realistic by using real miniature sets

It's not even that they need to be replaced with miniatures, they just need some softer focus and a sense of depth. That's the problem with a lot of CG, Star Wars or otherwise - they spent so much effort on it that they want you to see all their work so EVERYTHING is sharp and crystal clear no matter how close or far away from you it's supposed to be.

Check out this pic - http://www.foundation3d.com/gallery/data/512/Quiet_Night.jpg - everything in that shot is diffused and blended such that it doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME, I'M CG!"
