Ok here’s an example on a more visual genre. Practical Yoda is more believable than CGI Yoda. (Practical Yoda can’t do the “jumping pea” stuff but that was entirely laughable and defied suspension of disbelief entirely. )

There's quite a bit CGI Grogu in The Mandalorian. You just don't notice it because it's done well.

And remember, the the prequels were literally the first movies to have CGI major characters. Basing the effectiveness of the technique on them would be like basing all of practical effects on the first movie to have puppets.

Who said I didn’t notice it? ;)
