CGI should be used to ENHANCE effects, not be the sole cause of said effects.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself. Some where along the line, someone forgot that 'enhancements' were just that and started using them for everything. Looks like this is going to be a needed return to form.

This is like when they had a R2D2 flying in space on Star Trek XI.

 

That was more because of JJ being a big Star Wars fan, if things are hidden in the movie itself then that's one thing but these are video teasers or w/e that they're doing way in advance of the movie coming out.

They tried to stop em but you can't no more than you can stop em anywhere else.

Possible Trailer Description

 

"[it'll] be short. And when I say short, I mean one minute long. It's going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There's no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece - perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? - and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley's, saying "Wake up." And then the title card appears - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and we see the Millennium Falcon, firing blasters, coming right at the camera."

      Dude get a clue, LTSC is Enterprise, not even legal for consumers, and ESU is not mainstream support cycle, just an extended security updates period.

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.
