Funny you've said that. Has anyone seen the Episode 1 behind the cameras documentary, back when it was released, in 1999? I remember hearing the ILM animators talking about Jar Jar and other CGI characters, and saying "We don't want a 'Roger Rabbit' effect on these characters. We don't want that. We wan't people to belive these characters are really there."
