TIL "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" was the first all-digital live action feature. This means that no film was used in the creation of it until film copies had to be made for theaters. (postinthewoods.com)

I wonder if this explains why back in the early pirating days, this movie was leaked over 2 weeks before release. Being digital from the start probably made it easier to circulate the screeners.

I doubt that was the case since a lot of films at that time (including Phantom menace) went through digital intermediate process that makes the camera it was filmed on irellevant for this discussion. The whole phantom menace was scanned and from that point on it went through vfx, coloring and other postproduction stages the same way as a film that was shot digitally.
