BAD IDEA. you saw Star Wars. You can tell that thoes sceens are fake. Not even fake, like painted!. Fake, like it only exists in zeros and ones. Indy is real. He goes to real places and does things that could hapen. Natural is always better! Special Effects are differnt from computer gnerated images. Lets look at the end of RoTLA when the fire comes out of the Ark. Special Effects were used there, but it was real fire. If that was CGI fire, it would look fake, and detract from the realness, breaking the delicate ballance in viewer's minds while becoming part of the movie, causing them to pull out their minds out of the movie, then they can't concentrate on the end, and there is no closure, and the movie becomes a total flop. All if they used CGI.
