Another reason why I am so baffled by the CGI in these films is that I recently read through the 'Art of Episode III' book...I recommend that anyone do the following: open the first 10 or so pages, and compare those pages with the last 10 pages (where the actual scenes are displayed)... There is so much imagination in the artwork for the films, so many potential scenes that just never became part of the films... I really wish that there would have been an emphasis on making the films more epic (as they appear in the artwork) and fantastic, but not at the expense of creating needless details such as the always-moving skyline in EVERY SINGLE BACKGROUND of the Coruscant shots or creating an entire planet completely from scratch, such as in the Mustafar scenes. I wonder whether creating more of the worlds seen during the Order 66 sequence would have led to more shitty CGI or a better story... One of my biggest complaints with the prequels and that sequence is that the Jedi Masters are killed and, while I thought the sequence was an emotional one, I don't know a single one of their names. Why weren't they more than just additional props in the films?

Ugh. Sorry, I have all these things I've wanted to talk about with people for so long so they're all sort of bleeding back into this discussion.
