Maybe it's some kind of sick homage to the CG abominations in the "remastered" original trilogy of the 90s and the prequels.
I just have to harp on this issue one more time because I remembered that Baby Yoda exists.

And he's a real-world thing. A muppet. Or a puppet. Whatever, but he's not a CG monstrosity.

This is how you make a believable character. Not inside computers with half-baked tracking dots and cheating normal maps and mismatched ray tracing light rigs but out here in the physical world where people and the setting can actually interact with it.
