Wonderful piece! I enjoyed it all the way, especially seeing how far back and how far-ranging CGI goes. We learned a lot when the how-they-did-it of Star Wars became a cool thing in itself and it led to a quantum jump for the industry, hooray for all of us! (I kept finding myself thinking of all those cars they destroyed in The A-Team – how wasteful.)

I loved those A-Team car crashes — especially how they always make sure to show the bad guys crawling out of the wreckage afterward. I don’t think anyone actually died on that show. :-)
