I really enjoyed the Hobbit, I could niggle at a lot of little things about it if I had to but I thoroughly enjoyed. That one scene I linked to did stand out for me as the only part where I paid most attention to the CGI as it was terrible for the rest of it I was too caught up in the story to care a great deal. Taken out of context in clippings much of the over all look of the Hobbit is not pleasing to my eye, but I can overlook it for a good story most times although the last Indy instalment was truly unforgivable.
How would I suggest it completed, well I mentioned in my first post the basics. Real characters acting on real landscapes would be a start, not just cut and pasted in, I suspect that is more of the problem than any graphics added. Mythical beings and monsters can be animatronics and puppets and by that virtue tend to look less fake too.
The Speeder chase in Return of the Jedi was far better shot than that.
Finally though, when it comes to the cutting floor and looks that bad I simply wouldn't of included it.
I agree with you on Lucas 100%, he should of stuck with the original methods as to this day the original trilogy still look better than most movies since the advent of CGI.
I'm glad someone else is getting a shot at it though and hopefully redeeming my favourite franchise, and by the sounds of it JJ is going about it in a good way.
Tolkien told the story better in my opinion, Jackson is good at taking existing stories and translating it to film.
As for the story of the new SW, I'd be happy for the simple run of the mill formula of the first three. Heroes, villains, good and evil, no children, little to no love story and lots of pew-pew noises. Job done and balance to the force restored.
