Well said. Once the cgi's start to look too fake, then that is when it bother's me, but mostly when they are replacing people. Like in this recent one, where anakin jumps at Dooku and kicks him. Or in episode 2, when obi wan had Jango Fett on a rope and it yanked him off the landing pod. He looked like a cartoon. A real stuntman could have pulled that off.
unless it's used well and in restraint, and also it should not be used to replace actors
Do you mean the main actor's or any living being in the movie who has a voice?
I'm sure if Lucas spent more time on choreographing fights, like the originals, then it would be considerably better.
Honestly, i thought those fights in the originals looked brutal compared to the many fights in these recent episode. If i watched episode 4 now, for the first time, i would laugh at how bad it looked. Obi wan and vadar fight looked like a couple of old men playing with sticks. Just terrible.
Episode 5 had the best fight scene of the early trilogy, but only because Vadar was there in costume and all.
This last one, the final confrontations were awsome. No lightsabre battle in any previous starwars movie can beat it. Two main fights were going on at once.
Perhaps if lucas used alot of non cgi stormtroopers in at least some of the scenes it would have also helped.

Greivious looked cartoonish at times too. Everyone wanted to see this guy in action with 4 sabres going at once, but because of the impossibility of defending against them, Lucas hid most of the action with plenty of close up shots of obi wan and grevious' face with the general loosing a limb here and a limb there without actually showing the skill used to do this on obi wan's part. That scene was a definite let down for me.
