The one thing I was surprised about was that I haven't seen my biggest disappointment mentioned much at all. One of my very favorite things about the original trilogy was the starships. I can't help it. They were just awesome. Maybe I'm in the minority, but as soon as I saw that all the ships (as well as droids and even living things!) in Ep. I were basically glorified cartoons, the whole thing was a huge disappointment for me. It might as well be a Rice Krispies commercial, with the real people holding conversations with cartoon characters. And am I the only fan who thinks that the models in the OT looked far, far superior to their CGI counterparts in the pT? I could never get tired of watching the space battle in Ep. VI--yes, VI! I now realize how dumb that movie was, but those battles! And no one could deny that the destruction of the second Death Star was a true triumph of cinematic special effects. Done with MODELS! Why, when such a thing is so vastly successful, would they forget all that and do it all with a computer? Does ANYONE really think it looks better? I think it looks much, much worse.
