  What you don't get watching at home is the BIG SCREEN theater treatment.  Sitting up front, the 1st ship feels like it's coming overhead. Its overwhelming.

  How does it look so good? There are two things happening. First, it's been remastered twice, an effort that included adding effects. But two, and importantly, George Lucas was very passionate about the special effects and was able to innovate film tricks that had never been done before. So while the more impressive effects are new, many of the old effects still hold up.

  Hard to believe that only Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill are the only two main characters left alive today. RIP to all those that entertained and enriched our lives…..

  The first Dune book was published in 1965, but the first movie version of Dune was released on December 14, 1984.

  The sad thing about the CGI added in 1997 for the "Special Edition" is that now people can't tell what was original and what was re-done later. The thing is, the original effects were FINE, in fact they were GREAT. Not CGI, so you didn't get the CGI animated creatures, but otherwise they were fantastic. But now if someone sees it and realizes that CGI was added later, they might conclude that all the great-looking effects were done later, and that's simply not true. Many of the effects are still exactly as they were, and even when they were replaced, the originals looked fine, so there was usually no good reason to replace them.

  The CGI confuses a lot of people who have never seen these movies before. &nbsp;CGI simply didn&apos;t exist beyond simple graphics on monitors like the Death Star plans. &nbsp;What you are seeing are the changes from the Speical Editions released in the late 90s which ALSO have been further updated through the years for releases on DVD, Blu Ray and also Disney Plus. <br><br>So as you go through these anything that is clearly &nbsp;CGI and not a puppet or scale model is from the updated versions.

  In 1977 it was mostly practical effects and model ships. &nbsp; &nbsp;Lucas added some CGI shots on the later re-releases and DVD versions.

  The first shot of the Star Destroyer crossing the screen and eventually filling it really needs to be seen on a large screen to get the full impact.
