(AP) -- In these hallowed halls, Indiana Jones almost seems out of place. A banner with a two-dimensional cutout of the swashbuckling archaeologist swings through the lobby of Industrial Light and Magic, where life-size replicas of Darth Vader and Bobba Fett from "Star Wars" stand guard.

  I hope it doesn't look all waxy like most organic things do in CGI. God forbid the CGI is noticable, lots of angry nerds...
  
  I really really hope this is a good movie with some nostalgia and not a CGI showcase. Of course the originals were pretty much SFX movies in their day. I wonder if they were SFX movies that happened to be good, or good movies that happened to need a lot of SFX?
