Question regarding PT filming in Tunisia

I’m trying to recall a behind-the-scenes featurette, which showed Lucas on location in Tunisia during the filming of Ep2.  I seem to remember him saying that, instead of coming back to the same location 2-3 years later, he would shoot the final scene of Ep3 there and then.  

So, does anyone know if the baby Luke hand-over scene in Ep3 was actually filmed during Ep2’s production?

I recall that being claimed as well, definitely. Not sure where it was. Or if it was true at all.

"Someone get me a baby, I need a baby for this shot!"

I'm fairly certain it happened.  But I'm unsure of whether what was filmed was actually used for Ep3.  I'm guessing it wasn't, judging the final product (which looks very green-screeny to me!).  In which case, it would be interesting to see what was filmed.

It was filmed in Tunisia during Episode II, but reshot on a green screen set during production of Episode III. The reasons for the reshoot aren't clear.

The on location version should have been on the Blu Ray extras. Darn it!

I've been puzzling over a photo of Lucas and Jango Fett that looks like Tunisia too.

Thanks, SilverWook.

That photo of Fett and Lucas looks Photoshopped to me.  I could be wrong.

It's an "official" photo apparently, like all the others fans often buy to have to the actors sign at conventions these days.

Would Lucasfilm fake a photo to confuse fans during production? Otherwise they dragged Temura Morrison, (or whomever else fit the costume) all the way out to Tunisia.

And made him 10% bigger than he should be, not at the right angle, and had him stand under studio lights that somehow didn't shine on ol' George.

Just because it's official doesn't mean it's not photoshopped.

It would serve the same purpose as fake script pages. To confound and confuse as to the real plot line. ;)

Bad form if it's really a doctored photo though.

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

I just want to point out that Hoth has a long o, according to George

Yeah, he's always had a hard time pronouncing his own fictitious proper nouns. Other examples of this are Naboo ("Nay-boo"), Gungans ("Goongas"), and Dooku ("Doe-koo").

This is an exclusive on-set behind the scenes photo of the filming of that scene.

True, but that one's a bit unique in that pronunciation vacillates in the actual movie.

I forget: Does "Han" very in pronunciation onscreen, or only off?
