look at his robotic arm or the gadgets on top of his dome, you can't tell they're digital?

he's definatly digital alright

but why make him digital for that scene? he did that electric thing a couple of times during ESB and ROTJ, and it worked

who gives a crap if it's digital?! still looks cool...

The more I look at that picture, the more the "digitalness" of
good ol´ R2 disturbs me. Oh why can´t Lucas control himself.
"If it ain´t broken, don´t fix it"

Not bad. I kind of liked this one.

so many people hate anything digital nowadays. i like it 🤘

Nope

Is that Obi Standing Next to R2? Notice the battle droid behind R2. Maybe they get captured at the beginning and R2 helps them escape

Thanks scramba! 😄 Nice pic! 🙂

R2 is sooo digital that shot. God I hope that is not complete.

Yeah I think if you have a problem with digital work then the prequel trilogy is about as far away from something you will like as you can get....

Personally, I think people rag on digital work a little bit too much sometimes. Not pointing any fingers in this thread, mind you, just a general observation. If it doesn't look good enough in a Star Wars movie, then it doesn't look good enough from anyone in the entire movie industry.

I like a quote that Lucas said once (to paraphrase): "Its not that its any different now than back then...either it looks fake and its rubber or it looks fake and its CG, but we take it as far as we can".

Personally I don't see anything wrong with the pic that's worth getting fussy about. I still nearly crapped myself with AoTC when I found out that not one Clone Trooper was a man in a suit. If you nitpick and keep your eyes on them, sometimes you can tell, but overall they are EXTREMELY realistic. A major success, in my opinion.

But I'm sure the CGI on R2 could look SOO much better if they wanted to. Maybe it is just the size of the pic. I just don't see why a simple shot like this didn't just have a model.

Well more than likely its because of all the little tools that pop out of him....to get the movements right it would be a big pain in the ass to add all of that stuff in later...or even worse to physically make all of them. I would expect this is "The CG version" and that there will also be a traditional tin can version....they just use the digital stuff for the little robotic arms and stuff....similar to how they made a digital one for when he flew in AoTC.

Also remember that CG generally looks better in motion than as screen caps.....
