10 Worst CGI Moments In Star Wars
10. Anakin Rides A Shaak - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones
Attack of the Clones is undoubtedly the most poorly-aged of all the Star Wars films from a visual effects perspective, due to its set-pieces being more reliant on pure CGI elements rather than a combination of digital and practical effects as in The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith.
And so, the awkward middle chapter of the prequel trilogy is awash with janky, unconvincing CGI, not least in this wildly unnecessary aside where Anakin (Hayden Christensen) and Padme (Natalie Portman) go for a frolic through the fields of Naboo.
In one moment, Anakin is seen balancing on top of a large, pig-like creature, a Shaak, before it dumps him on the ground.
Between the shiny, video game-y appearance of the animal itself and the laughably off-kilter physics as Anakin surfboards atop it, nothing here looks remotely believable.
It may be only a brief moment, but it makes an already trying scene even more cringe-worthy.
