Actually I don't know why the CGI Jabba looked poor. Draco from Dragonheart in 1996 looked a hell of alot better so they had better technology in 1997. They probably had time constraits or something. Still he wasn't that bad but could have been better. In my opinion after 1993s Jurassic Park digital animation has no limits. The dinosaurs walked around in the sun and looked real. Basically models on wires were fine during the 80s but the best model effects can't compare to good digital ships. George did not overuse computer generated imagery at all. Every digital shot looked great and made the whole Star Wars universe come alive. The digital Yoda made the puppet Yoda look sucky in comparison. I would love to see the puppet Yoda do those flips and kick all ass.
