The Sequel Trilogy should be made as animated films...
they tried that with the prequels and look how crap they turned out.
The less animated/ video game look in the new movies, the better.
Just imagine if they did matte paintings for backgrounds. How beautiful would it be?
I don't want to sound like an anti-modern purist, but I'd love if the new movies were approached with an older style of filmmaking. CGI will be a part of it, but less reliance on that. I always love how Peter Jackson took LOTR and filmed as much on location as he could. Really gave a real, tangible element to the settings and atmosphere.
Watching the prequels, all I could see in especially AOTC and ROTS was that the backgrounds were too shiny, too perfect, and had inconsistent lighting.
That's one area I think where TPM had an advantage - I think they filmed much more of that film in real settings than they did for AOTC and ROTS, which feel almost exclusively like bluescreen stages.
