Looks like puke green fluorescent to me. Still probably my favorite shot in the prequels too.

Mine too. And I don’t mind it either way, you’d think they need to see what they’re doing if they fix their droids or something. They don’t look that sterile.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

The big question is did the front ramp exist in the original 1977 design? 😉

Where were you in '77?

You guys think that was the best shot in the prequels? You are absolutely crazy. This is the best shot in the prequels.

Ep. IX to be shot on 65mm film.

Already mentioned it in the Ep. IX thread


However it’ll be interesting to see if he’ll shoot the entire move on 65mm, or just some scenes like they did with TFA.

They’re horrible. Just look at the scale. Why are Obi and Jinn so tiny in the second one?

I’m not seeing it. Unless it’s a joke that went over my head.

THE FIRST PICTURE IS VERY LARGE AND THE SECOND PICTURE IS VERY SMALL

Oh, that would’ve been pretty funny if it showed up that way for me, but I’m seeing them both as the same size.

They show up as the same size here, but I’m on mobile and everything looks the same size.

In what thread did that guy claim he had the rough draft for Episode VIII? I’m going to see what he was getting at.

I think a lot of shots from the prequels look pretty good as stills. The problem with the cinematography in those movies isn’t the framing and composition, it’s that dopey slow zoom thing George applies to every other shot.
