…the sfx are far superior, the aesthetic is quite impressive…
TPM beats it in these respects.
TPM has shooting on location (forest, italian city, north african desert) that are more pleasant to the eyes than cgi scenery. Both are good looking anyway in my opinion. As for the sfx Jar Jar and Watto are still very well done, but on the other hand Grievous is as good. The rest is according to each one’s taste.
