I'm not sure why everyone is talking about CGI. The Prequels were weaker films because of poor plot, dialogue, and directing. CGI was still kind of new then so some shots looked way too cartoony, but by the time ROTS rolled around I thought the CGI looked great in that.
It's 2014, I'm sure that any CGI used will look great. I'm more worried about the storyline at this point.
I'm one of those odd people that don't care one way or the other how the effects are done. CGI or models, if it looks good who cares. Eps 1&2 had some problems with the CGI but still looked okay. I agree with you that the CGI in ROTS looked pretty damn good. I have no doubts that visually this Star Wars trilogy will look the best.
I'm not sure I want to say the CGI looks good anymore (at the time maybe), but there are a lot of shots in ROTS, that a next-gen gaming console (ps4, xbox one, wii u) can easily beat. Even TCW had more detailed digital characters than the digital doubles used in certain shots.
Definitely not as good today as it was then. But that's how it always goes. Still think ROTS looks decent enough, though. I'm expecting these new films to blow me away visually, and hopefully with the story as well.
