I friend commented on the now classic Yoda fight sequence in Episode II. he 
said it looked like a video game.

I think what make the classic Star Wars films so great was that it was 
really difficult to create the effects, to bring the vision, to life. 
Nowadays, you can cook up just about anything on a computer. The audiences 
subconsciously know this and I think it lessens the effect of the special 
effect. Imagine that Yoda sequence if they did it using the techniques from 
'Empire Strikes Back' or even current animatronics. It would be a challenge 
to pull of, but I think it would be a better sequence. Just because we have 
all this nifty technology, doesn't mean we have to use it.
