This looks damn realistic. Even better than some CGI done today.

Star Wars was miniature models and matte painting and fireworks, no cgi at all. The first Star Wars movie with some cgi was Empire Strikes back.

What made it look so good was the Dykstraflex camera system.

Why are sgi machines so aesthetic? I miss the concept of bespoke hardware and the closest we will get these days is fpgas and shit like this

there is a fucking reason for the only 'real' cgi in this movie being wireframe/vector graphics because there was absolutely nothing in 79 that could have made filled let alone textured polygon graphics within reasonable time

A hilarious amount of it, people always make fun of the special editions for that very reason.

Yes and it's extremely fucking jarring. We didn't really need stormtroopers riding dinosaurs in the background. Didn't really need a super cllosy digital flyby of the city on tatooine and the worst crime of all, we did NOT need CGI x-wings when the originals looked so damn good.
