No flame and you're entitled your opinion and I respect you are an animator. Regardless if it looks cartoony, why do it? Sure LOTR may have been darker...ummm, it looks better right??? Everyone agrees. So what if Lucas wanted it in full sun zoomed up, if it can't look right don't do it. Period. That was my argument. It looks crappy no matter how much money is spent. And watto is in the dark shade and still looks like roger rabbit. It doesn't lend itself to realism. All the speeder scenes look fake with Dooku and anakin going to avenge his mother. And the scene in the field with anakin riding those beasts, how do you justify that? Its zoomed out and blurry, but still looks asanine. Again, if it can be done right, don't do it. Suuposedly now with this technology, Lucas is capable of realizing his true vision, funny how the originals of 1977-1983 looked more real to me. Models and costumes worked. Cartoon backgrounds and creatures do not. Many people claim this, am I wrong? Does it not get distracting having cartoons and people on the screen. I have heard no one beg for re-edits or say the CGI in LOTR was shotty and yet there is many with the PT that say this. So Peter Jackson worked with the best technology had and did what he had to do to make it look as photorealistic as possible, shadows, actors, what have you...why is that wrong? And is it justifiable to say Luca$ is working beyond his technology and give him that as an excuse. If it is in fact too hard, DON' DO It. I have not been in hiding. I have been here and will keep voicing the truth as I see it. I am being critical as a fan, a true fan. What I love has been vastly perverted, with Greedo shooting first, Jar-Jar, Han stepping on Cartoon Jabba's tail, Vader and a pink saber, Weeesa Free Celebrations, flying watto, with a silly voice and flies flying around him, and dex with a stupid voice pulling up his pants sliding down his ass, boss nass looking retarded, there is no excuse and I will stand by it. It wasn't executed right, their lines, voices and actions assigned to these characters further make them obnoxious. Did you like the two-headed announcer for the pod race? Did you like PEEEyOOSa lines or Jar-Jar sticking his tongue out, or doing a triple flip into the lake. Its stupid, it looks stupid sounds stupid and acts stupid and there is no comparable characters or scenes to these in the OT. I am here, and you may be right ILM may be better and it may have been more technically difficult...but again...WHY DO IT THEN. Work within the constraints given, be creative and make it look good. We all now he has near infinite resources. I still believe there are no excuses for what we were given. NONE. Fire Back.
