Such Luddite thinking. The CGI in the prequels was staggeringly good, raising the benchmark for the industry. Consider: Jar Jar Binks was the first completely CGI main character in a movie (who cares if he was loved or loathed, the technical achievement of that character is something to celebrate and paved the way for Gollum in LOTR); the land battle between battle droids and Gungans was unprecedented and again pushed the envelope; AOTC was the first movie to be made digitally so again that broke new ground, as divisive as that move was; the CGI in ROTS built on the advancements made by the previous two films and raised the bar even higher.
Yep, Lucas has been constantly paving the way and changing the film making process...also pushing for digital projection.
But there can be too many green screen sequences....eventually it overloads and can spoil the film.
You should watch The Furious Gods: The Making of Prometheus Sir Ridley made a conscious decision to support physical effects with CG.....
