Weren't the Star Wars prequels the first big digital productions?

Phantom menace used some (pioneering) digital shots but Collateral is fully shot on digital from my understanding

Attack of the Clones (2002) was shot fully digital with an early Cine Alta camera.

So early the film isn't even in 1080p

it's not?

From a cursory search it was recorded at 1080p but the aspext ratio was 16:9, and the final.movie was to be 2.41:1, which means they had to crop the image, meaning less than 1080p.
