Maybe he was referring to the lesser known film, 'Romancing the Bone'.

I would have loved to have seen ROTS digitally but didn't get too. I saw AOTC digitally in Pinellas Park, FL and it was fantastic. Man it's going to be a long 2 weeks waiting for this DVD. Like many others' experience, the sound at the two theaters I saw ROTS at left a lot to be desired.

I don't find the way the weel-bike moves to be realistic at all. That IS an opinion. It's the way these legs move and how they move that I don't think is realistic. Again, they are more like animal legs than mechanical legs. Why 30 years later did the Empire use klunky propulsion for the AT...

PT hater, huh? Do you even read my posts?

'Retractable' legs would be fine as you put it. But I didn't care for the way the legs were implemented. If it would have been more 'mechanical' I wouldn't have minded. But they were very organic and animal like in there movement and abilities. I just find it to be too stark of a contrast...

Uh huh. I'm still trying to find the legs on that wheel bike that allow me to leap around. The basic wheel bike deisgn I don't have a problem with. It's how it was embellished.

Do you seriously not see how Greivous wheel-bike is more fanciful than an AT-AT in it's design and movement?

Size matters not. Haven't you learned anything from Star Wars? ;)

But the AT-AT lumbered along as you would imagine if we would build one. It didn't leap and hop across the landscape like the wheel bike. Get it?

I don't discount that. Practically anything may come to fruition in the future. I prefer the OT style- a style which isn't as fanciful as *some* of what's in the PT. You obviously prefer the later. To each his own. I'm not trying to convince you that you should like it. I understand where you...

Not bad Sev, just add legs that sprout so it can run and hop like an animal and it's EXACTLY the same.....

I had no problem with 'sleek design' per se. I had more problems with things that seemed vastly advanced (droidekas) compared to the OT. It's kinda like George's attempt at making Yoda look younger in Episode I. It just wasn't necessary to take it that far. I mean, cripes, Episode I was only...

Perhaps I wasn't clear before. I am not arguing that 'all CGI looks fake'. I think CGI can look as good or better than models (or even worse). CGI isn't inherently good or bad. My whole point with CGI vs models is that with CGI you are pretty much unlimited in what you can dream up. And that...

Lucas has every right to make the movie he wants. I'd never argue he doesn't. I just happen not to like some of the choices he made for the PT. But don't think that I am an OT gusher/PT hater. I know there's good and bad in both. Maybe in general I like the OT better, but there is much in...

I agree Sev, CGI is a very important tool and sometimes was used very wisely in the PT. I just think in quite a few instances, they went too far and CGI allowed them to create designs that were limited only by their imagination. Lucas always complained about being limited when filming the OT...

Look, you can take any argument to absurdity. I never said the OT was completely real. In fact I thought I made it perfectly clear that I what I meant was the OT designs had a 'real' physical possibility to them. If you don't want to discuss my points fine.

Anything might be possible in the future, sure. But look at the speederbike versus wheel bike. You could build a speederbike right now. No, it wouldn't 'fly', but the design is very real. The wheel bike just strikes me as very 'unreal'. The whole way it moves and operates is too over the top...

Even with the Death Star, there's really nothing about it's design that is beyond possiblility. It's huge, yeah, but it's design is pretty realistic (again, save for the super laser). It's just that there wasn't much in the OT that really stretched that credibility. No, not everything in the...

A large mechanical object that walks on four legs could conceivably be built. It's not that much of a stretch of the imagination. There's really nothing in the design of the AT-AT that would present a huge technological hurdle (save for the lasers, perhaps).

Although I loved ROTS, in general I have had problems with the PT and also always end up coming back to the fact that it doesn't 'look real.' But I don't think it's as simple as CGI not looking as 'real' as puppets/models. I think it's the fact that with CGI, *anything* is possible. With...
