    I'd have jumped all over being in the original trilogy (especially since I was just a kid) but I don't think I'd want to be associated with the new batch.

    All that overpowering CGI oooh-wow-look-at-what-George-can-do (with a giant renderfarm and a gajillion-million dollars) crap. Plus it would just plain suck to be in a scene with Jar-Jar and not have the satisfaction of throttling him until his head exploded ... and that is the real reason fully CGI characters suck.

  2. Lucas Hiring Extras? Nahhh! by Michael_Burton · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Surely this must be a hoax.

    If you've seen the last two Star Wars movies, you'll know that George Lucas has moved beyond this gross material plane. There's no way he would tolerate mere human beings getting in the way of his luminous vision. Send in the CGI extras!
