Just to nitpick, but there were a lot of practical models and effects in the Star Wars prequels. The problem was there was also an overabundance of CGI plastered on top of it.

I also wonder if the general slick nature of modern effects tends to render the old-school imperfections of practical effects almost non-existent. So people these days often mistake practical effects for CGI (the BB-8 droid being a perfect example).

I think you are right. CGI is often used to clean or spice up a practical effect. As I recall C3PO in EP1 was a practical effect. The only CGI was to remove the puppeteer.

I walked out of E1 loving it and so did my two brothers that I saw it with. Today I'm the only one that admits to liking it. I liked 3 and 4 as well. I guess I just excepted that there were parts of the movies made for me and there were parts that were there for kids. As a teacher I can tell you first hand that there are lots of young children that lover E1-3.

As for the new trailer I'll say this, When Hon Solo said "It's all real" I almost shed a single tear in a wave of nostalgia.

I liked them. No, they weren't as good as the others, but the third one was pretty good. And they were still better than most of what gets put out.

Broke down and bought advanced tickets for me an my 8 year old.... we'll see, even if it sucks at least it will be a good father/son outing.
