10 Best CGI Moments In Star Wars History
4. Jango Fett's Seismic Charge - Attack Of The Clones (Episode II)
We've already touched on the slightly dated looking CGI in the prequel movies, but certain scenes still managed to wow audiences. George Lucas really went to town when depicting space combat in these movies. It was the first time he wasn't limited by technology when it came to telling a story.
Sure, certain CGI moments from the prequels look like shoddy cut-screens from a half-decent PS2 game, but others still have all the visual impact required to sell a scene. And really that's all CGI should be used for. You can get away with slightly less convincing special effect if they are being utilised in a well written and engaging scenario. That's what this moment was.
With Obi-Wan hot on the heels of Jango Fett, viewers were treated to a game of cat and mouse in a planetary debris field. The delayed sound of Fett's seismic charge, as it sent destructive waves through numerous astroids, will forever remain a highlight of one of the weaker movies in the franchise.
