He also has some defining characteristics that make him relatable to other epic heroes. Luke is "orphaned," which is a shared characteristic between Frodo Baggins and our upcoming hero, Harry Potter. Another defining characteristic is that Luke has special abilities, superhuman skills if…

    Before CGI, movies had to be about realistic situations because directors had no way to produce fantastical effects. CGI was introduced to movies, not out of necessity, but out of a desire for a better movie. Since it was not an essential part of the production as it is in video games, CGI developers had the chance to mold the technology in new ways and were able to come up with innovations that the video game industry had not yet created. George Lucas could have made the original Star Wars with the current effects and there would have been no qualms from the public as it was all he had.
