I mean, yes as to how they were portrayed, but no not really. More Jedi but cooler. Sans Lucas.

Because if there's one thing we can say about the original trilogy, it's that it was lousy with jedi.

I mean, you take all of the jedi references and epic saber battles out of new hope, and you have maybe 8 minutes of footage, tops.

I read one of the recruits steals and totals his X Wing, but with the help of Sgt Spicoli, they frame the Empire. That's what sparks this whole battle.

Doesn't look like Star Wars....almost looks like the cast for a new Aliens movie. Not a complaint just an observation.

Wouldn't it be easier just to recast? How did the Paul Walker CGI look?

I just wish this was a more proven technology. I'm tired of the Star Wars movies demonstrating CGI that isn't ready for prime time yet. Hello, Special Edition Jabba!

I thought it was his brother or something. Granted I wasn't watching closely but it seemed okay.

It was his brother, but they enhanced his face with CGI for shots where the face was visible.

Was it believable or obvious CGI?
