Also per Wikipedia's article

The article names 10 more places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

3 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Grindelwald Switzerland

  “Grindelwald's mountains were used as the basis for the view of Alderaan in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005).” Wikipedia

• Guilin China

  “Guilin was used as a second unit filming location for the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, serving as the basis for the exterior landscape shots of the planet Kashyyyk, alongside the shots used in Phuket, Thailand.” Wikipedia

• Phang Nga Bay Thailand

  “In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, the bay was used as main photography for the planet Kashyyyk, the home of the Wookiees, including Chewbacca.” Wikipedia

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in Australia, Sicily, Switzerland, Thailand, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
