The Star Wars prequels had shitty special effe-

...

I think most people tend to complain about the overuse of CGI. Though honestly Grievous was fucking awesome.

Green screen and the old shot/reverse shot dialogue. Why can;t movies get over this shitty practice and have actors deliver lines back and forth in a framed scene.

Honestly, Grievous is funny because he looks great in some shots but like ass in others.
I do get the impression they spent extra time making him look good for what screentime he had, probably because of all the merchandise featuring him

Why did the EU and animated material so utterly misinterpret Lucas's character? What about Grievous makes him so difficult for writers to grasp?

You mean the Genndy Cartoon where Grievous is a badass?

This. Its not just about how many pixels you get on the screen, its how you use them.

The prequels are basically like Roger Rabbit in reverse. You have a few actual actors on screen who stick out like sore thumbs, then the rest of the movie is a cartoon.

A lot of stuff was practical, on location or using miniatures. Only things not possible to do that way was made with CG. Stop swallowing RLM lies.

I dont get why they didnt use more explosives in that shit. It's just lasers and shit. a plasma rpg is going to fuck up a robot pretty well

some scenes look great like coruscant nightlife, the opening battle in episode III, but sometimes he used a little too much cgi and it shows. grevious still does look good though yes
