All credit and kudos to Phase3 for noticing this in TPM…

A Mini-Index… (from Page 1 - and re-posted here for easier navigation)

 
0️⃣ • Introduction

1️⃣ • The Phantom Menace

2️⃣ • Attack Of The Clones

3️⃣ • Revenge Of The Sith

4️⃣ • Your own irksome / noticeable / poorly executed CGI scenes & CGI-affected scenes from the Prequels…

 

The above 15 topics for each of the 3 PT films are my own personal take on some of the many scenes that stood out to me. It is be no means a ‘definitive list’ or even a ‘comprehensive list’ of substandard / noticeably poor CGI issues in the Prequels…

Everyone’s mileage may very much vary on just what constitutes poorly executed/affected CGI in the Prequel Trilogy films.

Please add your own problematic / poor CGI scenes / irksome CGI issues / any scenes I’ve overlooked… in the thread, below…
