How does the Kashyyyk battle(s) in ROTS stack up against the Geonosis sequence in AOTC?
"Dunno, that's one sequence I didn't get to see."
Pablo recently stated that Palpatine ?didn?t get what he expected out of Anakin?? Can you shed some light on this comment?
"No clue. He sure seems to get it to me."
Will we see Yoda use his lightsaber any time beside the fight with Sidious?
"Heck, yes. Yoda even cuts someone's head off!"
Will we see any unique outer space scenery other than the usual SW stuff?
"Well, there's a upper atmosphere opening battle, which includes the upper layer of the sky and the beginning of space. It is sweet, in the far distance below you can see the cityscapes and everything."
Is R2 with Anakin the whole film? If not when do they part ways?
"R2 is with Anakin during the crash landing."
Can you give any little nugget of information on the disappearing Jedi/Jedi spirit issue?
Totally explained in Episode III. Palpatine tells the whole story about Darth Plagueis during the ballet scene."
In Response to Art of Revenge #14 Signal Difficulties:
"That looks very close to the finished shot. Obi-Wan finds the footage he is looking for - when he and Yoda play it back a few moments later, they see Anakin bowing to Palpatine."
In Response to Knoll Vision #26: Jedi Temple Hallway
"What's cool is we see this temple hallway once with Obi-Wan and Anakin walking together early in the film - and another time later in the film littered with bodies of clones and Jedi as Yoda and Obi-Wan walk through."
Some additional updates:
**""Lock S-foils in attack formation" is a line from the script."
**"About halfway through the film we see the heroes really and truly revealed. That is, if you don't count the rest of the Jedi who gave of their lives up to this point.
The heores: Yoda, in his quest to rid the universe of Palpidious once and for all, and Obi-Wan in his veritable quest to turn Anakin back from the Dark Side.
Both fail utterly."
In response to the thread asking if Lucas could bring a tear to our eyes:
"Would this do it?
The hovering droid comes out of the medical center to greet the two anxious Jedi. If he could give any expression from his teal eyes, it would be one of sadness. His multiple arms try to convey the message of despair to the two remaining Jedi in the galaxy. In the background, we see Padme lying face up on a floating, white, oval-shaped bed. She is dead, covered to her chest in a white sheet and wearing a light blue top.
Blue aliens with large hands tend to her expressionless body and to the nearby medical computers - but nothing it seems can be done. Yoda sighs quietly as the droid begins to speak. "I'm sorry, we were unable to save her. We were, however, able to save ... the children.""
-So one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy was in the middle of his first true lesson of the Force. In the corridor just ahead of him stood Bail Organa. His face told the whole story.
"You're needed at the surgical facility," he said. "Obi-Wan asked for you to come. It's Padmé - she's dying."
**"Have I ever mentioned that Anakin cuts off Dooku's hands, then helpless and hunched over, Anakin scissors off his head with a red and a blue saber? Pretty cool stuff, didn't know if that has been posted yet or not."
-"BTW, the camera does pull in close to Dooku, showing him with great fear in his eyes and a red and blue saber crossed just short of his neck. Don't know what happens after that ..."
-"And remember, the establishing shot is Dooku with no hands ... DEFENSELESS."
In responding to the question about a new starfighter seen on the RotS Scrapbook:
"It is a Tri-Fighter.
That view isn't all that impressive though. There's a shot in the film where three in formation sweep right by the camera, red lasers blasting. Actually, I think it looks more Matrix like when I first say them - they have one large laser cannon in the middle of the 3 curved wings and red "eyes" too. All black, metallic steel looking.
VERY COOL."
New revelations on the Nature of the Force and Qui-gon's role(?) in RotS:
Yoda feels that he is responsible for the failure in the fall of the Jedi. He talks to the force, who talks back to him in the voice of ... Qui-Gon Jinn. It had been speaking to him these past thirteen years, answering his questions about life, and more importantly, eternal life.
"Do not blame yourself, my old friend."
-Yoda blames himself because he was too old - "out of touch" so to speak with the changing galaxy. He was trained centuries ago by ancient Jedi of a different generation. The galaxy changed; he and the Jedi did not. Yoda blames himself for leading the Guardians of Peace down that futile path.
Bits of dialogue:
***"Do you think the fear you feel is mine?"
Mace's last words(?):
***Mace: "You can explain the difference after he's dead."
****"Is it widely known that the final moment of this last season of Clone War cartoons will be the first instant of Revenge of the Sith?"
