The Star Wars prequels were 90% Blue and Green screen. They had very few on location shots and rarely worked on practical sets.
It was a technological breakthrough, because no one had really ever filmed entire feature films in front of a green screen and no one else had filmed big budget feature films with Digital cameras, either.
Those movies, as panned as they were/are, really ushered in a new age of filmmaking.
That said, the actors definitely struggled with the green screen, as did Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell in Pan.
Spielberg had to work extremely hard with her because she was absolutely miserable during filming. I've never seen the film but supposedly, it's one of the worst, if not the worst, performance of her career.
