George Lucas is digital filmings biggest advocate. Had the technology of today existed in the 70's, prequel bashers would be singing a different tune. Star Wars has been just as much about technological innovation, if not more, in film as it is about the story. Disney is about profit pure and simple. If you thought the prequels where bad....hold on to your bedpans. Where about to get a heap of Disney marketed, repackaged, bullcrap forced down our throats for the next infinity and beyond.

Had today's technology existed back then, Star Wars would have been nothing special in this regard. Part of the charm of the originals were the amazing things that Lucas was able to do with live sets, props and models, things which at that point in time had never been done before. His use of CGI in the prequels is actually rather poorly executed, and in fact quite crappy looking when compared to other modern movies that specialize in this. Most of the CGI in the prequels is already forgettable, precisely because it is so sterile and lifeless, devoid of the organic grit that the real sets and models the originals provided.
"Disney is about profit pure and simple" - and George Lucas wasn't?

And yet... their Marvel movies have been perfectly fine. Disney will do fine.

Box office success doesn't make a film good, if it did we would all be singing the praises of the prequels and binge watching Fifty Shades of Grey.Selena Halcyon said:

I agree, but have to say props, models, puppets, camera work, lighting, sound, are all special effects.

Of course, and they made Star Wars visually captivating. But the reason why Star Wars was a success in the first place is because it was a story that resonated with people.

The actual Live Action Ewok movies are the darkest stories on star wars film and in my opinion were very good.

The Rebels were the bad guys. They're a bunch of terrorists trying to disrupt order.
And the Seppies were the good guys. They were a group of planets breaking off from the corrupt Republic and its Senate to build it all over again, with no bribes, corruption and with a more stable economy. And they didn't use a slave army like the Republic did.

1. Luke is almost more of a whiner than Frodo.
2. The Empire did nothing wrong and the Rebels were just terrorists skewing our view of a regular government and turning into an oppressive tyranny.
3. It was not a trap

I'd go with that argument...if the Separatists weren't led by a Sith Lord who instigated the breakaway, the war, and their defeat.

The Thousand Sons are cooler space warlocks than the Sith are.

That’s kind of hard to consider them slaves when the clones were “programmed” to fight and willing to fight anyways since a lot of them grew up with Mandalorian influences.BX-1138 said:
You may as well say the Seps had a slave army themselves considering their droids were also programmed to fight in the war. And yes, droid’s are technically seen as slaves in the eyes of most in the StarWars Universe.
And I blame Palpatine and his influential nature for all that corruption.
