But at least we were 'there', so to speak. These days it seems all one can do is fend off disappointment.And am I alone in preferring the use of models and animation as opposed to CGI for a more 'visceral feel'? CGI stuff seems to lack substance and mass to these eyes, no matter how beautifully its drawn. I guess the elusive 'CGI reality algorithm' still eludes even Lucasfilm.

By the 80's, models in films looked pretty darn good. The new movies started to take on a 'synthetic' feel, sorta like watching a video game on the big screen with live actors walking in front of it. The best cgi is the stuff YOU CAN'T TELL is cgi. There have been a couple of films that used it in the proper amount and context(T2, Dark City). Maybe there should be a percentage that one shouldn't go past when using computer effects in a movie. Sorta like eating a huge slice of frosting with a little cake smeared on top, I like my cake the other way. I just wanna see the Emperor swinging his light saber!
Me too. But what I really want to see is the moment we see Sifo Dyas (is that right?)/Palpatine morphs into Darth Sidious/Emperor - if indeed such an event takes place on camera - ie, when The Sith are revealed. Skin goes all heavy and so on... [pass th popcorn]...

but I thought I saw a scene where multiple jedi were hassling Palp(probably saying something like 'we KNOW who you really are you dirtbag!')and it looked like he popped a light saber out of his sleeve, sorta like Deniro's gun in taxi driver. I CAN'T WAIT! Don't know if I can take any more of Yoda flying through the air though.
