In 2002, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones made history as the first major movie shot entirely with digital cameras.
George Lucas used the Sony HDW-F900, skipping film completely and capturing the whole movie in high definition. It was a bold move at the time and sparked debate among filmmakers and purists, but it marked the start of a shift in how movies are made.
Today, digital filmmaking is standard for blockbusters like Avatar, The Avengers, and shows like The Mandalorian, many of which continue to use innovations developed at Lucasfilm.
Attack of the Clones wasn’t just ahead of its time; it helped shape modern cinema.
