That's true for the OT.  Interestingly, I don't think that applies to the PT, though.  I think the effects decreased in quality in AOTC, but got better for ROTS.  I still think TPM looks the best out of the PT... effects-wise.

 

That's probably due to the fact that Lucas, in his utterly irrational desire that AOTC be the first major film shot entirely digitally, considerably downscaled everything by going from real 35mm film in TPA to native 1080p in Episode II.

How well I remember sitting in the theater on May 16, 2002; and, when the Naboo ship explodes as Padme's decoy walks down the ramp, I gasped and said aloud: "That looks so bad! Why does that look so bad?!"
