The Prequel Trilogy / Re: episode 3 spoilers perhaps ?
« on: September 10, 2003, 07:17 PM »
Obi-Wan and Anakin will have four scenes underwater which won't amount to much screentime.
The first scene will involve Obi-Wan tangling with an enemy combatant and will involve close-ups of Obi-Wan.
The last scene requires a wave machine and the water will fill a room to its ceiling. The set is lowered into the water to give the illusion of rising water.
Matt Sloan has finished his scenes as Plo Koon and a wrangling droid.
August 18, 2003; SW Insider #70 Tidbits from Rick McCallum:
(Chewbacca delivers the Skywalker twins to Obi-Wan Kenobi?)
McCALLUM: Cant comment.
(By the end of the film, Yoda ends up on Dagobah?)
McCALLUM: These rumors are pretty good. Well see.
(Anakin loses more body parts?)
McCALLUM: Absolutely.
(Well see Darth Sidious wield a lightsaber?)
McCALLUM: Maybe. If youre good. Maybe.
August 20, 2003; Hyperspace: "A Helpful Alien on a New World"
Today's shooting focused on a new planet, with new landing platforms and wind machines providing a breeze. 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.
The planet's inhabitants are costumed performers and not digital aliens. The aliens "look fantastic" and "creepy" and "impossible" with inhuman proportions and angular costumes.
Bruce Spence and two other actors were on set to shoot their scenes. A ground crew of aliens will be digitally added for the scene(s).
Spence's character is tall, gaunt, has macabre makeup, an ashen complexion, obsidian eyes and twisted teeth - giving a chilling smile that got reactions from the crew.
George was impressed with Spence's performance and did many takes to get the most of the great shots.
