it has some clips in, but really bad quality. interesting material though!

OK, something has just dawned on me while watching this again.

I *think* THIS was the original ending for AOTC. Yes, they would've chased Dooku and battled him but that would've been it! And you'll notice that no CLONES are in this video.

Here's a lovely quote regarding the first clone war battle: "...we bypassed storyboards altogether and went straight into animatics." - Rick McCallum

Why no storyboards? Because Lucas decided to change the ending of the movie last mintue! It would have been a rehash of TPM ending so he changed it.

So *IF* I'm right (had Lucas contiuned with his original plan) Yoda never would've showed up with the clones at all! Interesting...

I *think* there's another quote of McCallum talking about Geogre coming in one day and saying something like "what if Yoda showed up last minute?" I don't know for sure...I'll try and find it....maybe on the commentary...
