I really don't get why people put such a priority on non-CGI stuff...

It's called "personal preference". Does that finally answer your often asked question? 

Well obviously. My question was more in a sense "why would someone even have such a preference". :)

I mean hypothetically, OT with CGI would still be great while PT with real SFX would still be the same shit. That is my main point.

Because cgi always looks fake in that cgi way. Models can also look fake, but at least you have the charm of the model. You can't seriously be saying the OT would be just as good with cgi... can you?

Also, in the trailer I thought the shot of the Falcon was weak, it has the fake motion blurring that cgi never gets right - the image felt thin and light. 

I know the new film will have a lot if cgi, but at least sets gave been built and there's an effort to make things look more believable.
