I remember when I saw the first films, I found them fascinating! My brother is a super super super fan of anything to do with Stars Wars.
From the new movies I like the costumes, make-up, but it's true that a lot is done by computer, I know it's a big job, because I studied some 3D design, a lot of work and hard, but I prefer the traditional performances.
I don't know if you saw it, but I saw The Mandalorian and I liked it a lot. .... well my brother put it on and i watch it hahaha but it's not bad.... it's the second time he's put the series on.
I've not seen the Mandalorian but I've heard it's ok. I'll watch it sooner or later.
It's very good and I like your phrase.
