I kinda agree with you on that statement, I think Lucas uses too much brightness in his colors in ROTS, and it just comes as fake that way. I notice the color red is very fake looking, cause it kinda sticks out in scenes like Palps office. The one CG I do like from the PT is the whole outside part of the Kamino world. It is just very cool looking with the rain, and I know that couldn't have been done 20 years ago.

I think the most cartoonish part is one shot at the beginning during the space battle in ROTS where the clonetrooper are shooting this huge gun out at the spaceships, and it just looks so damn fake. I remember they showed it in one of the ROTS trailers too, and nothing in that sequence feels real. Then I watch the original SW when the attack on the death star and you see the stormtroopers shooting those big guns at the rebels, and cause it is done on a set it just looks so much more believable.
