    Hoggle is my example of why most CGI characters in live-action movies are unnecessary. Hoggle is an incredible feat of puppetry combined with the performance of the actor inside the suit, and if that can be accomplished in 1986, then don’t tell me that a practical character can’t be done today.

    L3-37 from Solo is a great example of how to merge practical with CGI. You get the actors real performance, the human actors on set get something real to interact with, and then CGI can fill in some of the gaps and do the things that physically can’t be done in reality.
