I guess when you know all the details before you see the movie it kind or ruins the experience. Part of the reason why i don't wait around to see movies that are this popular. You can ruin any movie that way.
It is used more as a tribute more than anything. Carrie Fisher was still alive when they shot that as well.

Yes, way too early, I had been in Special Effects for more than 32 years and watched the first fumbles of CGI in Species and other similar mistakes. I worked on the first Star Wars back in the UK when CGI wasn't even on the drawing boards. They have come a long way, a great example are the Jurassic Park films which use a combination of GCI and practical effects. But to replicate a human is not easy as the eyes always look dead. There is no spark of life there, with practical model making they got around this by adding small light sources which seemed to bring them to life. I've been using Maya, Flame,haHarry and other CGI programs now for 10 years and its still not possible to replicate human eyes well enough to make them appear real. Not saying its impossible buy from what i have seem they are still a long way off yet
