Look over there!

It’s a featurette on casting Anakin.

Some of those boys looked like they were four years old. I’ll never understand why George Lucas wanted Anakin to be a child in TPM, especially if he was planning on Anakin being at least in his early 20s by the end of the trilogy.

He’s a fan of gross romance.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the shot of Lucas’ pad of paper that just says “STAR WARS EPISODE 1” from one of the documentaries? I need it for comedy.

Looks like its in here, but I can’t get it to load at work.

EDIT: I guess it’s not in there.

EDIT2: It was from the end of The Beginning, I was able to make my joke:

I was rewatching From Star Wars to Jedi on the Star Wars youtube channel and I had forgot how much OOT footage was in it. I noticed that the ugly furball thing that would later be the singer in the Special Edition was shown briefly in puppet form. I never noticed that before.

EDIT: I also forgot that almost 70% of the documentary was about Jedi and half of that was about Jabba’s palace.

By a lucky accident, I came across this:

While the lighting’s a bit too bright, I quite like the visual. Dare I say I actually prefer it over the original?

That’s Angel. He used to post here back in the day but left after some disagreements…

I never knew Angel, and his art page linked above didn’t seem to work right on mobile, so I couldn’t look at much, but from what I can tell, his ideas include

Last time I’ve checked he directed that movie… The “big, busy, sprawling city?” already is present in the original cut. He just extended it a bit for the SE.

Why do some people (Lucas included) think Mos Isley should be a big, busy, sprawling city? The OOT depicts it as a run down truck stop. Much like those you see on the highway in the middle of nowhere. Not too busy, but necessary. I like that much more.

I agree 👍 the SE damaged that isolation of it, OT made sense as a ’ once upon a time busy place’ now full of scum in hiding.

Wife had a question that I couldn’t answer. In ANH when Vader kills Ben, he stamps on Ben’s robes…but what happened to Ben’s lightsaber?

Prequalism answers are probably unsatisfactory, but it’s the best I got.

In the old EU I think Vader keeps it and then it shows up again having survived the Death Star and some doofy kids find it. Thanks, Junior Jedi Knights, for your crap stories. <_<

“Disappeared…it has.”

Ugh, stupid prequels.

I assume current canon is that it blew up with the Death Star.

JEDIT: Unless we travel to Vader’s Castle again in Episode VIII and find he kept it as a trophy and Finn or someone ends up using it. <_<

I have no idea. Most big cities aren’t wretched hives of scum and villainy either. Usually big cities have specific parts that are bad, and others that are good. It’s really only run-down places that are entirely wretched.
