ayden hurt his leg a little executing a leap while shooting the duel and the duel scenes that were supposed to be shot today were moved to next week. Instead, a group of small scenes originally meant for next Wednesday were shot today:
Scene 1: Sidious talks to an "evil henchman" using a hologram
Scene 2: OB-1 is thrown against a wall
Scene 3: Last revolving set shot: stunt performers fall from floor to ceiling; also mentions "raised slats and sunken panels"
Scene 4: OB is exploring an "alien wilderness"; he climbs into some sort of cave and has a look around
Scene 5: OB accesses some sort of computer or something on a pillar in the Jedi Temple. A "greeblie-lined tray" is slid into the computer terminal
Scene 6: OB and Yoda have a bit of a talk in yet another new section of the Jedi Temple

The majestic palace set is the veranda of Padmιs apartment (on Naboo most likely).
Two of Padmιs handmaidens are named Elle (Chantal Freer) and Motee (Kristy Wright).
The senatorial characters or Chris Kirby and Bai Ling are called Giddean Danu and Bana Breemu respectively.

September 17, 2003; Hyperspace: "Day Fifty-Eight":
Though the set diaries are at an end, Episode III still has a long road ahead of it, as it enters into postproduction. Work on Ep3 has been ongoing for 18 months and 18 more months remain. So we're at the half-way point, according to George Lucas.
March 2004 pick-up shots are still scheduled.
The final five scenes were shot today, four in one stage, and the last in another.
The first four were dominated by stunt work. George commented that it was not about how fast you get the shooting down, but how good you get it.
The last set was another original trilogy location, one of two sets recreated in this movie. The set is elevated to allow for sunken crew pits, and removable hand rails also border the set. The set featured control panel design such as knobs, switches, levers, personal computers, and viewports. Letters on the controls read "DEFLECTOR SHIELDS", "REACTOR STATUS", and "REBEL SCUM DETECTOR", "VADER PROXMITY DETECTOR", "Coast Clear. Goof Off", and "He's behind you. Look busy."
When the webcam had gone all black, it was Pablo holding his ball cap over the webcam lens as George insisted some things in Episode III need to be revealed in a fashion more befitting their character.
"V177G" was the last slate shot for Episode III. At 6:42 pm, shooting wrapped to the applause of everyone on set. Everyone enjoyed champagne, beer, and farewells.
George thanked everyone for their hard work. he mentioned Ep3 was the most fun film he has ever worked on and was very easy and swift. He credited this to the fact that everyone worked in such harmony together. George is now looking forward to cutting the film together and "see what happens."

* More than two dozen extras were crammed onto a greenscreen stage for filming with the principal actors. An Ishi Tib and a Quarren were among the alien species represented by the extras. Other characters are a handmaiden, and two blue Senatorial guards.
* This scene was originally planned to be shot in March as part of the pick-ups, but was moved forward on the schedule.
* One of McCallum's assistants, Jacqui Louez, is being made up as a Senator to appear as an extra.
* A correction to a previous report on Beru's hairstyle in Ep3: it will not be "Shelagh Fraseresque" after all. That was one of many styles being considered.

*Pablo discusses the misconception that all Star Wars films are shot on blue/greenscreen with no real sets. There is also impressive work done with costumes, sets and props.
*Today though, it's all digital. Ewan McGregor is the only real element on set. Apparently most of the remaining filming sequences will be mostly CG.
*The "planet" Obi-wan is on has such unique topography and architecture that it must be rendered digitally.
*The actual built set is just a green walkway surrounded by crash mats.
*Ewan is fighting a group of unseen opponents described as "armed toughs itching for a fight."
*Ben Cooke, Dean Gould, Michael Byrne and Kyle Rowling are dressed in green or blue tights so that they may be digitally removed during post production.
*One possible problem is that the CGI replacement characters will have very different anatomies from the stunt performers and will be much thinner. The solution is that the characters will be wearing cloaks which may help cover up any overlapping blue.
*The new digital badguys will be tougher than the usual "lightsaber-fodder," and will carry weapons that are actually effective against the Jedi. Obi-wan will be facing a challenge this time around.
*On a side note Daniel Logan (Boba Fett AotC) visited the set.
Today's shooting focused on a blue ramp which was tilted up to become one big slide.
Throughout the morning, actors ran across the same area of floor and were running from unseen dangers. George told Hayden he did not need to say his lines, only to look back and run like hell.
For some takes, the floor is raised to about 30 degrees. Anakin will slide down the length of the ramp while attempting to control his descent and using his comlink for help.
The glare on the blue ramp was a concern for ILM in regards to post-production work.
Stunt doubles also did some ramp scenes where they ran the length of the floor and fell into a trap door.
The Costume Department fitted nine handmaidens today.
Wednesday, 17th September will be the last day of Principal Photography

The actor Hayden Christensen, speaking by phone from the Australian set of the final Star Wars prequel, was comparing his two most recent roles. "They have different kinds of ambition," said Mr. Christensen about Anakin Skywalker and Stephen Glass, the disgraced former New Republic writer, whom the actor portrays in the upcoming Lions Gate film Shattered Glass. "Anakins ambition is an all-dominating, rule-the-galaxy type of ambition," continued Mr. Christensen. "But yeah, they are both people who allow their sort of moral integrity to become questionable so that they can get what they want."

Evil has never been more prominent than it has in the past few weeks, with Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, Nute Gunray, Wat Tambor, Boba Fett and a number of other galactic villains shooting scenes in the eleventh hour of film production on episode III.
This episode is said to be the darkest and that's been backed up very heavily this week, with more of the cataclysmic duel between Obi-wan and Anakin being filmed, as well as a separatist meeting and some cloaked baddies chasing our heroes to name but a few of the sinister scenes being shot.
Next week will wrap production on Wednesday, and the complicated process of post production begins.

The Dagobah cave was explained in Ep5 and will not need further explanation in Ep3. -PH
There will not be any grand surprises but we will have a sense of familiarity with how the story of Ep3 unfolds. What surprises there are will revolve around the new locations, characters and elements that no one had predicted. For the prequels, the big surprise was when we learned in Ep1 that Darth Vader was once an innocent little kid. -PH
About 1/3 of the action sequences in the film will occur on the new planets where will we also see the most visually spectacular sequences. -RC
A new alien planet will feature a landing platforms and breezy winds. The architecture of the planet is curved and ribbed and gives the environment an alien feel. The planet will be primarily digitally created since it is unlike any earthly environment where location shooting could help. - OS
The windy environment in Ep3 is a concept in which Ralph McQuarrie had done previous designs. George decided to re-visit the idea and give it a fresh pass. -RC
