10 Best CGI Moments In Star Wars History

There were many aspects of the sequel trilogy that were brilliant. Initially the characters were intriguing, there was more reliance on practical effects, and CGI technology had advanced to the point where almost anything could be created. It makes it all the more tragic then that the whole of the trilogy was not as great as the sum of its parts.

Snoke was a marvel in CGI. Utilising the industries go-to motion capture performer, Andy Serkis, the mysterious character was a groundbreaking display of animation, and an intriguing, original villain. But as we all know, he was offensively underutilised.

If even half the effort put into making Snoke look as impressive as he does, was put into developing a character arc for him, then the sequel trilogy would have been received far more favourably. It truly is a shame that an artistic endeavour such as this ultimately went to waste, in a trilogy that will not be remembered for its stunning visuals, but its lacklustre plot.
