Younger people like the prequels more, but the popular consensus is definitely that they are inferior to the OT if not outright bad movies (they are).

There is good in them, and Obi-Wan (popular consensus) was wrong about the whole "more machine than man" (excessive use of CGI) and "twisted and evil" parts. And lies to itself about the "betrayed and murdered" part, too. This lovely political cartoon of a paragraph works better than I expected.

I don't care about the Batman part. I'm geeking out over the idea of exploring the Millennium Falcon more. I'm suddenly super excited they built it. New hatches and areas, flesh out that this is a real ship.

Isn't this exactly the reaction the low-key PR campaign described in Carboard Box A's post is meant to elicit? I'd like it to be a great film and a throwback to the original film's feel. It looks like they're working to nail the feel but that doesn't mean it'll be a great film.

Most people are more familiar with making things with their hands than they are with creating things on their computer, so practical effects seem at the very least like the people behind them put effort into them. I think that's a perfectly understandable view, if incorrect. CGI is just a fat dude sitting in front of a computer, practical effects is Jim Hanson lovingly gluing mops and puppets together.

A New Hope is a great film, and how did Empire not have a shitload riding on it? Sequel to the at the time biggest or second biggest film of all time (depending on how you measure) and the centerpiece of the first great multimedia franchising engine of the modern era?

It's 100% handmade, no icky CGI here! I think part of it is that when there are practical effects, it's a lot easier for the actors to be natural and you don't end up with everyone being as wooden as they were in the prequels. Well, that and this time around they'll have a director who don't think of the actors as props to fix in post. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Sep 18, 2014 |

You can use both together very effectively, like using CGI to erase guide wires or add extra little things to the physical model. Using only one or the other is silly.

I'm just being sassy, I know it was more than it makes him feel bad, but that seriously was a really complicated and complex scene that needed CGI at least a little bit.

Basebf555 posted:We are the Jedi, perpetuating the same cycle over and over again until someone in the thread becomes Vader and kills us all. You don't get it. If I had to rate the Star Wars movies I'd rate them in the following order: 1) Attack of the Clones 2) Transformers Dark Side of the Moon 3) Return of the Jedi 4) Revenge of the Sith 5) John Carter and the Movie about John Carter In Space 6) JJTrek09 7) A New Hope (Star Wars Episode IV) 8) Return of the Jedi 9) Empire Strikes Back 10) Buckaroo Bonzai and the Beings from the Eight Dimension 11) Transformers Too: Transform Harder 12) Titanic 13) Aliens vs Predator || Requiem for a Dream 14) Starship Troopers That's also the order SMG prefers to view them in. I however prefer to watch them all at once on 12 simultaneous TVs. I know there's 13 movies, but I watch Transformers III The Wall and Return of the Jedi on one TV at once since they are basically shot for shot remakes. Which one is in the picture is really a subjective choice, I prefer the CGI landscapes of TFIIITHW to the terrible puppetry of ROTJ, so I usually put it in the main picture, except for the amazing new Jabba's Palace dance and the new Ewok song, at which point I switch it to the main picture.
