You might be surprised to know that a good chunk of the landscapes and big environments in Episode III (and all of the SW movies, for that matter) are done with matte paintings and miniatures. Most people complain that they're CG even though there are more practical effects in the SW prequels than in any other movie made today. Remember Kashyyyk? That big shot of the tree city was a miniature. Mustafar? Same. Most of that lava was not CG. A lot of people don't know this, but complain about it because of course, CG is popular to hate on. ;)
