Well, in II and III, models were used less for ships and the like and more for blue-screen replacement. Miniature sets were built (like the hallways in Kamino and the Geonosian arena), photographed, and comped in around the actors. Hmm, but were there really any models used for Sith? Nothing comes to mind right off. Any help here?

And ThatArtGuy, thanks for correcting me. Yeah, Home on the Range was the last. I didn't see that one either...

For Sith, Utapau was mostly models, and there was quite a few made for Mustafar as well. Padme's apartment model may have been used again as well. True, though, there was much less used in Episode III. Maybe thats why they realised they could just outsource the model work from now on.

For Episode I and II there was probably as much model work as there was CG work if you can believe. The entire Geonosis arena, the Podrace stadium, the interiors of Kamino, much of Coruscant (ie Padme's apartment), pretty much all of Naboo is miniature, the Trade Federation ships, much of the ship explosions were done using models and model/CG combinations. Quite a bit of work.
