10 More Worst CGI Moments In Star Wars
4. The CG Backgrounds - Episode II - Attack Of The Clones
This will be the last time this list dunks on Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Scouts honour!
Again, while you definitely have to salute George Lucas and his team for the way they experimented with fully CGI backgrounds throughout this second prequel, their boldness wasn't always rewarded with stunning results.
Perhaps the most glaring example of a digital background that has aged appallingly can be found during the moment involving Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Yoda going for a wander through the Jedi Temple within the opening thirty minutes.
The scene felt like the actors had been dropped into an animated movie for a few minutes, with the compositing and lighting during the conversation not quite being up to scratch.
Everything from the colours of the carpets to the gigantic pillars just felt incredibly artificial, especially when compared to the far more detailed and impressive miniatures and practical sets used to create Star Wars locations at various points in both the prequel and original trilogies.
Spare a thought for the poor performers who spent hours having to pretend they were walking and talking with little green aliens in grand structures, too, with nothing but green/blue screens and the odd prop to react to.
