Yeah, Jackson used CGI when necessary, and only when necessary. Having said that, all this dissing of George Lucas aside, he is a pioneer. He changed the way films were made in the seventies and he's pushing the boundaries still in the digital age. It's bound to not work all the time, but without people like George Lucas, we'd never know. After listening to the DVD commentaries, he's gone up in my books. And listening to Irvin Kershner was a joy.
