They do look great and screen-accurate, but I've always been in the "realistic camp". I have one SW collection and I want it all to be uniformal. I can see the appeal of animated-looking figures as well though. But here's how I see it. I used to collect a line called Minimates. They began fairly simplistic and Lego-esque, but as the line progressed, they got more and more detailed and "realistic". Finer lines, more expressions, the hairpieces had more ridges and detail than just being smooth blocks, the abs were more defined, and so on. Eventually they started doing figures based on the movies, and they fit right in there with the others. And as the years passed, the detailing got better and better. At some point they started doing specifically animated style figures. More "blocks of colour", less fine attention, "smoother" in general. Well, I couldn't pose those with my other figures. There was a stark difference between the animated Thor with his monochrome arms and blocky expression, and my MCU Thor with his Hemsworth likeness, chainmaled arms and braided hair, and my comic based Thor with his stern look, ornate armour and weathered Mjolnir. The animated ones I bought as placeholders or if they were costumed characters and they didn't clash that much. But by and large I was a fun of the more detailed approach. Same with this. If I spend 300 euros on a dolly, I want it to fit in with the rest of my realistic dollies. I want my collection to be uniformal. That's the whole appeal of the scale. The detail and realism.
However, like I said, I can see the other argument. You want what's on screen. You don't want a realistic Fred Flintstone as mentioned above, you want a cartoony one. And I get that. But Star Wars is a pimarily live-action universe that spans every medium. I want my ESB Luke to blend in with my TFU Starkiller, my TCW Ventess and my KotOR Zayne Carrick. The last few are hypotheticals, but if they were made I wouldn't want some weird "stylized" Zayne based on the comic book art. I'd want one that's as realistic as possible. Again, I get wanting Animated figures, and I'm glad the option exists. If I had the money I could buy a couple of characters in that style as well, as a secondary collection, to represent that specific era. But realism comes first in this hobby. For me at least.
