Christopher Nolan has sorta brought scale modeling with minimal CGI back in style.
The dude that made the batman movies and inception? Yep that's the definition of mimimal cgi. BTW, I didn't know Micheal Bay was a member of huskerboard.
*as far as starwars, follow badger's avice*
I wish, the VHS "classic" trilogy wasn't the last orignal star wars I could buy.
That being said, funnily enough I just marathoned those movies a weekend or two ago.
start with the last three "a new hope," "the empire strikes back," and then "return of the jedi."
If you find Ewoks even slightly stupid throw the other movies away save for one part. The highlight of all 3 of the prequils was Darth Maul's light saber fight. As a simply stand alone light saber battle, it was pretty decent, and he was by far the best Sith mostly because of his light saber... Fast forward to that point (if it cuts to story, don't worry you didn't miss anything) watch that 5 minutes. Then follow badger's advice.
If you get through Jedi and actually like Ewoks. Do exactly the same thing I just said.
Seriously, there is no redeeming value in watching anything else in the prequels. I know, Ewan McGregor wasn't stinking the place up, but he's the only actor in them, seriously follow badger's advice.
If you watched them all, well repeat Anakin getting his arms and legs cut off by Obiwan until you can forget the whiny b!^@h he was for the previous three movies, and a couple extra to wipe the Jar-Jar taste out of your mouth, and again bin the first three movies. Then try not to throw up in rotj when the "ghosts" are the new actors.
Then download the family guy and robot chicken star wars trilogies and cleans yourself.
(on a side note why did Lucas screw up his own universe's cannon, Yoda was supposed to train Obi-wan, what-the hell man. it must have been in a book nobody read, like all of them, or something.)
