Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech it created a whole blushing system, implemented nose shadows, and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti to get the translucency right... (www.pcgamer.com)

The original film used tons of technology and techniques that had never been tried before. It was a truly innovative film for special effects.

No shade to the prequels, their graphics just weren't a huge leap. Not to say they're bad or that there was no innovation! If I remember correctly, Jar Jar was a pretty big deal for the industry.

The reaction to Phantom Menace might have been "Wow that looked great!" but for A New Hope it was "HOW THE HELL DID THEY DO THAT???"
