    I don't have mod points so you'll have to deal with a verbal mod up. I rewatched the original trilogy (as almost everyone else did when they were put out on DVD) and watching the end of Return of the Jedi as Luke is battling with the Emperor, one thing I noticed is how real it seemed. No matter how many green screens and CGI you do, it just doesn't seem to give the real feeling that seeing actual props do. Now using CGI for the backgrounds instead of matte painting works nicely, but for foreground elements it just looks much better with models.
