Weird bit of trivia I thought I’d share…

I don’t know how common knowledge it is that Steven Spielberg worked on ROTS, it seems like something that people never talk about. I had always been under the impression that he only did animatics for the Utapau chase scene, so it made sense that it was never made into that big a deal. However, I’ve been reading the Making of Episode III book and watching through the film’s special features, and along the way there have been passing references to Spielberg directing the animatics for not just the Utapau chase, but also Order 66, the Yoda/Palpatine fight, and the Mustafar duel. Nowhere in the book or the bonus features do they ever comprehensively state everything he’s doing, they just vaguely say he’s working on animatics. So it’s probably fair to assume he did animatics for even more sequences than just those four. Found that interesting, his work was apparently pretty decently substantial.
