Star Wars Movie making is a complex medium that historically consists of believable performance by actors that follow some form of character arc, and a story that exists within the Canon. However in this case the Puppeteer and Puppet Master thought throwing ludicrous amounts of money at CGI or virtual puppetry would distract the audience from the visible strings and poor ventriloquism.
A puppeteer (Kathleen Kennedy) is a person who manipulates an inanimate object (Rian Johnson) , called a puppet, to create the illusion that the puppet is alive, and actually Directing.
Rian's role is to manipulate the physical object (Actors) in such a manner that the audience believes the object (Movie) is imbued with life. In most instances, the persona of the Actors is also an important feature, but in this case it didn't seem to matter. Unfortunately no amount of post production puppetry could bring this log of wood to life.
