Seriously, they would rather see fake muppets and rubber suits than realistic CG.
Oh there's no bias in that. Muppets are fake, but CG is real. CG is more flexible and you can do more with it, but puppets ARE more lifelike at this point in time. 1979 Yoda wasn't great, but who out there (besides Force zealots like OB1 who swear allegiance to der führer Lucas) can't easily point out how fake the CG Yoda is. He LOOKS like a CG character. His mouth isn't terrible well in sync with his voice.
You know why? Because the Clone Trooper models are perfect.
Perfect, huh. So 50 years from now, CG will not have evolved at all, and your beloved clone troopers will so be "PERFECT". Or perhaps they're just really good for today, and NOT perfect.
You only say they look fake because I told you they were.
Oh jeeze, don't give yourself so much credit. I say they look fake because they DO looke fake. Everyone here in reality agrees with me (i.e. Massachusetts). All my friends and family say that same.
I bet you also would have liked it if Yoda was a muppet in AotC, right? That would have been a great fight scene, having a muppet thrown around!
