I'm glad you mentioned cloth because that is the most difficult CGI technique to accomplish, and so far the only studio to successfully pull it off was ILM with AotC. As a matter of fact, they did it so well that they added in fake cloth in many scenes that most people don't know about. The look and animation is nearly flawless.
See the clothing on Obi-Wan? 100% CGI. Same goes for Yoda, obviously.
Stills don't do it justice, so you really have to watch the movie again. Watch the Geonosis battle near the end of the movie when Yoda is on that Gunship, and notice how realistic it looks like when the wind flaps his robe. It most certainly does not look as fake as you say it does. I bet you didn't even know that that Obi-Wan robe was fake before I told you.
Granted, it's not perfect, but no one else can even come close to it. Nobody.
