Ep IX is 3 years away, maybe if they work really hard at the computer puppet stuff they can get it to a point where it's acceptable for the vast majority?
funny thing about CGI, I remember when they were working on Avatar the hype was that they were finally going to achieve artificial worlds and creatures indistinguishable from reality. I saw it on TV a few days ago and it doesn't look any better than a current Pixar or Dreamworks feature.
this march towards realistic humans is taking longer than I originally would have predicted, but processing power never stops growing and one day it will match up with our perception. ask someone from the Max Headroom era whether they would believe R1 Tarkin is possible, and they probably would have said never, just like some people say now about fully convincing fake humans.
