How long does the actual filming of a movie like the upcoming Episode II actually take? Is most of the time taken up by post-production, like special effects and editing, etc...?

The principle photography of Episode II ran from the end of June to the end of September. We've now come back to California to start the editing and continue other post-production activity. Next year we'll have our planned next rounds of shooting to pick up any live-action elements necessary, just as we did for Episode I. From there, the film will be in post production right up until the planned release in the summer of 2002.
So, out of the whole three year process (including a year of pre-production) we're filming for only about 14 weeks or so.
