But if you think CGI looks more real...I guess we just have different perceptions of reality.

As much as I appreciate you trying to speak for me, let me clarify. As I've said a few times before, I think CGI looks as good as, or better, than Matte paintings - when used as a background enhancement, the way matte paintings were in decades past.

However, CGI characters, objects, and entire scenes - Gollum, Jar Jar, droids, & nearly every scene I've viewed a screengrab of from the prequels - do not look more real.

Appreciation noted. Though I was obviously drawing a possible conclusion from what you wrote ("But if..."). But thank you for the clarification.

I'm with SilverWook in appreciating the non-mobile concept. We appear to agree that CGI isn't better anyhow.

I agree with everything doubleKO wrote in his posts - his view of Jabba and the guards, the non-relevance of merely criticizing the puppets/masks in a thread about CGI, etc. Puppets can be poorly done (as you observe about Gamorreans, doubleKO points out about PT Yoda and TheBoost points out about the Syfy and 50's movies) but that doesn't speak to the overuse of CGI when latex can be more realistic.
