The problem with Rotta the Hutt
I saw The Mandalorian and Grogu for the first time yesterday and I enjoyed it for what it was but while watching I couldn't help but think this.
Do the general movie-going audience care that things just don't look real anymore. Rotta the Hurt, for example, looked like he came from out of a PS3 cutscene. Have movie makers just given up trying to make stuff look somewhat realistic because it's cheaper to use CGI/AI for everything.
Compare Rotta the Hutt in 2026 to Jabba the Hutt in 1983 and it's night and day in terms of quality.
I'm a nerd and a Star Wars geek so I don't really care that it doesn't look amazing but are "normal people" put off by this sort of thing?
