Which Star Wars film was the first to be shot entirely on digital?

Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones was the first Star Wars film shot entirely on digital cameras. Its production marked a major technical shift for the series and helped move large-scale Hollywood filmmaking toward digital cinematography.

The film used Sony and Panavision’s HDW-F900 camera system, which recorded 24-frame-per-second high-definition images digitally. George Lucas had wanted to use digital cameras on The Phantom Menace, but the technology was not ready in time. The cameras became available shortly before principal photography began on Attack of the Clones.

The film was also an important milestone beyond the Star Wars franchise. It was released in 2002 and became the third feature film shot entirely on a 24p digital camera, following Jackpot and Vidocq in 2001. Although Lucas promoted digital projection, most cinemas still showed the movie from film prints. The Force Awakens and Revenge of the Sith were therefore not the first Star Wars digital productions.
