To that end, I also feel like the shots are a lot more stationary than modern CGI sequences. We’re really able to ground with the visual information being shown, and engage more effectively because the film lets most of the motion happen within the frame rather than moving the frame itself.

Just my own two cents.

    Doing shots without any CGI forced those more locked down shots. Taking away CGI entirely takes away options, which can be bad, but also takes away the ability to create a huge CGI tornado of noise where a fully digital camera whips around. The scene also, regardless of the CGI situation, was shot and acted by the AT-AT crew, snowspeeder pilots, and rebel ground troops in a way remarkably similar to 1950s WW2 movies.
