EP3: Digital Wookiees and Fight Scenes
Thu, Jul 29, 04 01:40:54 AM EDT
(os) Tonight we got news that the wookiees will rule Revenge of the Sith! OK, not really, but they do have a really cool scene they're filming in England right now. Here's some highlights of the new information.
Confirmation - DIGITAL WOOKIEES!
The actor that plays Tarfful is Michael Kingma. Kingma's movements not only define Tarfful, but will define all the digital wookiees in ROTS.
"The Wookiees in Revenge of the Sith will be realized through a combination of practical costumes and digital extras."
Also, we will see Wookiee extras are guiding in helicopter traffic, loading supplies on landing platforms, or barking orders to clones and Wookiees.
"In other cases, it's Wookiees leading troops into the fray, jumping out from behind cover and charging forward, or recoiling from a near miss of heavy ordnance."
Sounds like the wookiee is really going to shine in ROTS. Spies previously have shared pictures of the wookiee boats and a recent feature on starwars.com also featured plenty of Kashyyyk concept art that ties into this latest report. For more background, remember SPY REPORT: Death Becomes Them and SPY REPORT: Too. Many. Spoilers. Thanks to TinyTinyTony for the summary!
Did they really compare these scenes to Saving Private Ryan and Braveheart? Please be THAT good.
