finding the worse scene in TPM is like debating the worse player on the Bears offensive line. But this is a microcosm.

There was a lot of suckage in TPM: Anakin is a cutesy 10 year old. Slavery is bad. Yippee! That's gotta hurt no matter what planet you come from. Boss Nass. Anakin destroys the command center by accident.

It's really hard for me to pinpoint the one singular moment of the movie that is the worst. What sticks out the worst in my mind is the two headed announcer during the pod race. The need to inject really bad comic relief moments every few minutes just wears you down after a while.

what else is outrageous about that scene is how totally fake it looks. Lucas went on and on for years taking about how CGI can help him because he can create anything photorealistic.

THERE IS NOTHING PHOTOREALISTIC about that two-headed pod-race announcer!! come to think of it, there is so much crap in the PT thats not photorealistic. Another garbage scene in TPM is the Naboo ground battle! pixar nowadays looks better - but you dont hear them saying any of the animated features are meant to be photorealistic.

the clone troopers in AOTC were obviously CGI to me even back in 2002. most likely what cost ILM the oscar that year.

if photorealism was truly the standard for using CGI in the PT, then one can easily argue that the PT had far worse effects from 1999-2005 than the OT did from 1977-1983. and its not even close.
