Star Wars has a huge budget, and some of their SFX is...well, not top of the line...and totally what I wouldn't expect from ILM. I think it's because they depend so much on blue screen. If you watch the special features on Star Wars EP1 & EP2, they use blue screen waaaay too much. In LOTR, it was a lot more believable because blue screen was used in addition to amazing locations, sets, models etc. Also, with all those special effects taking over your movie and having to meet a deadline, it might be hard to get quality in your work. I don't try to be a Star wars diss, but I was dissapointed by these new films. The acting was another thing that killed the new movies...it was terrible. Even Ewan McGregor, who is amazing in everything else I see him in, was horrible. And I don't think Jake Lloyd should ever be on the big screen again after EP1.
