But that's just stylistically bad...to you...as in it's your opinion. That doesn't actually make the CG low-grade. And comparing it to game cut-scenes is slightly ridiculous. Games like Final Fantasy always have insanely huge budgets for that kind of stuff, so they're obviously going to be amazing, but the majority of games out there now either go with in-game cinematics, or use CG from a couple years back.

And whoever said it's just a "step above" Reboot or Beast Wars needs to a) go back and watch how terrible that animation has aged and b) shut the f*ck up.

You don't care much for different opinions do you Peanut? Such Anger *in Yoda voice*
Never said it wasn't my own personal opinion, & yes I don't like how they look in this even though I just got done saying I enjoyed it in 2d animated style.

And you're sort of agreeing though or so it seems, I just think still cg isn't really where it needs to be yet.
Either that or it's just not being used to it's fullest extent, I like when they use a 3d sculpted model, take that and then animate with it.
But wouldn't you think that George and his company would have the kind of money to do better quality work?
I've never much cared for the cg stuff in the new movies either, looks to fake.
I come from a group of people though who enjoy the old costumes and prosthetic makeup days.

Hm... so this is going to be released in theaters? Despite the crappy animation that's even worse than TMNT's (at this point) and the late-90's PC game unfinished textures, this movie may still do very well considering that it's Star Wars... Are you sure this is to be released in theaters? The quality level looks more like it belongs on TV -- and if that were the case, then the quality's not too bad.

Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.

Once again, I'm going to say that people should stop bringing games into this, because it just makes you look like a fool.

Also, people need to take note that that trailer is OVER A YEAR OLD! A year is a pretty long f*cking time.
