    Unfortunately, that cannot be said from most of the Coruscant Palace / balcony scenes / spaceship corridors. They do show their age. I've never understood why the beautiful scale decor models they used as interiors and the bluescreen / greenscreen live action give that vibe. it's not like they were technically in uncharted territory .

But I'd imagine that in scenes w/ people just chatting in sets (and it can be boring) it can be harder to hide some of the more aged components.

    I feel like if they were critiquing that scene without the artist, they'd be all over how bright fire is. How in that silhouette shot the blast of lava should be pretty much blown out white, as they always say on explosion/fire shots in other movies. With the lightsabers blown out white, it makes it even more apparent that the lava is dimmed.

    I'm surprised they didn't talk about General Grievous in this as well. It is said that AT THE TIME that was one of the most complex things ILM had ever done because of all the different moving parts and such (until the Transformer movies of course which make that look easy now by comparison)

    @@HyperManic1000 You were not wrong. For years many "hated" the prequels, mainly because fans had sky high expectations for the movies because some elements were known and the fans already had their head canon (ex: the clone war was expected to look like a World War in all its horrors, yet Star Wars isn't this kind of movies). On the other side nobody knew what to expect for the new movies so they didn't have the same wall in front of them, and they still failed (except Rogue One, which is really saved by it's second half).

The next shot is literally a flat looking day, so the shot always feel thrown in. If they use it on the Final Battle, where the sun is being eating, it will make more sense continuity wise
