    The prequels were also pretty groundbreaking in CGI use for the time, but primitive by today’s standards.

      I’d say that’s the problem with CGI. It’s never going to look better in the future, whereas practical effects almost always leaving me wondering how they managed to make something look as good as it does

        It really depends on what the CGI is used for. Having 100 clones on screen without 100 extras still looks good. Having a pure CGI character delivering dialog is going to age badly.

          I think Gollum still looks pretty damn good,and those movies are just as old (give or take a year? two? who remembers…)

          Having 100 clones on screen without 100 extras still looks good.

          Better than having 100 extras in storm trooper costumes? I’d rather see just a dozen storm troopers over 100 CGI troopers. Quality over quantity.
