I'm not sure I 100% buy this argument. Like yes, objectively the creature work in the new star wars lacks the weight and realness of the original puppets, or even those used in the Mandelorian.

But we've also got to see the world of starwars in an absolutely incredible new way! x Wings skimming over the water with incredible camera angles, spectacular space explosions, realistic lightsabers that spark and have volume (sword fighting choreography aside).
