Slight question/nitpick over the prequels’ CGI; is the opening space battle [over Coruscant] of Revenge of the Sith somehow not up to par with its contemporaries? That sequence still holds up in terms of visual spectacle that takes advantage of its medium (3d rendering in this case vs practical effects) to do specific shots and set pieces.
Or am I just ignorant of how much the original trilogy pushed things?
The original film used tons of technology and techniques that had never been tried before. It was a truly innovative film for special effects.
No shade to the prequels, their graphics just weren’t a huge leap. Not to say they’re bad or that there was no innovation! If I remember correctly, Jar Jar was a pretty big deal for the industry.
The reaction to Phantom Menace might have been “Wow that looked great!” but for A New Hope it was “HOW THE HELL DID THEY DO THAT???”
