I hate to tell you SS but CGI was never around during the time when Alains was filmed. James Cameron shot the film useing Miniatures, puppets, and special effects with smoke and mirrors and lighting. Every shot you see with the queen is a giant puppet much like what Jabba the Hutt was in "Return of the Jedi.".
I know there was no CG then, I was merely using the queen as an example saying that the puppet (even an old one such as that) can outdo modern CG.
