There's a general rule to follow when doing CGI in movies: how good will it look years down the road?
James Cameron used a ton of CGI in Terminator 2 because he knew it would look good ten years later. Guess what? It still does.
The Star Wars SE graphics are already incredible shit. It was a bad idea. CGI was NOT developed enough to do what they wanted, and now it looks like an episode of a Saturday Morning cartoon.
Episode 1 did this well...it still has superb graphics (better than Episode 2 in most parts). It all depends on what you're trying to do with what you have. If the technology isn't advanced enough to make it look real years from now, then don't fucking do it! So many movies have made this mistake (Terminator 3!!!).
