10 Best CGI Moments In Star Wars History
6. Hyperspace Ram - The Last Jedi (VIII)
If the sequel trilogy will be remembered for anything, it will be all the moments that were visually awe-inspiring while having zero emotional weight.
Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo's sacrifice to save the remnants of the Resistance was a tragic moment, not because the audience felt touched by her bravery, but because a truly breathtaking scene was wasted on a nonsensical plot point. Holdo was a character the audience never truly grew attached to, neither did her decision to hyperspace-ram a ship make any logical sense in the world of Star Wars.
It's for that reason this entry feels like a controversial one. The moment when thousands of light speed particles dispersed through the Imperial Fleet, was perhaps one of the most beautiful shots in the entire franchise. It's just a shame the iconic image, does not reflect the emotional impact of the scene.
This could have been a moment of visually heart-wrenching heroism. If only the filmmakers had utilised it properly. Instead they just awkwardly jammed an admittedly great concept into a very clunky plot.
