- the look. After seeing a trilogy filled with green screen footage poorly composited over CGI backgrounds it was a PLEASURE to watch real sets, real locations, real props etc.
You do realize practically all the backgrounds that are composited into the Prequels are miniatures.
Except that’s not true. Episode 1 used miniatures for the spaceships and some of the backgrounds, all of the space footage was CGI in episodes 2 and 3, and almost all of the surroundings, with a few exceptions.
I meant aside from space. Just about everything else location-wise (AFAIK) was built either in life-size or in miniature form. Felucia, Mustafar, Geonosis, Kamino, all of that’s real. It’s true real. All of it.
