Michelle Rodriquez: Avatar Superior To The Phantom Menace

Michelle Rodriquez tells the LA Times that Avatar is better than Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. This she says is because the computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the Star Wars movie looks fake, whereas the CGI in Avatar doesn’t appear fake, since the props are real. This is one unbelievable comparison.  Does Michelle actually think that awful Star Wars movie could have been any better had  Lucas been able to use the CGI technology that Cameron has?
