Summary of Rick McCallum Chat - 8/13/03

? Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) has a much larger and important role in Episode III (for obvious reasons).

? Rick has been trying to convince George to do a cameo in the prequels but George refuses.

? The emphasis of Ep3 is as much story as Visual FX.

? Ep3 will have the same emotional depth as ESB.

? Visually, Ep3 is the most ambitious film yet due to all the number of new planets.

? The film will end on a sad note, but there is hope for the future of the story (Classic Trilogy).

? Rick can neither confirm nor deny whether the character Tarkin will be in Ep3.

? Three major lightsaber duels have been shot so far.

? The underwater tank set will feature a scene where Obi-Wan fights with droids.

? Rick asks that the fans have faith in the decision to go with the CGI trooper suits as opposed to actual costumes.

? George is always making changes (likely to include the script to Ep3).

? Rick's favorite film of the saga is Episode V.

? Rick realizes the fan anticipation for this final film in the SW saga.

? When asked if he had a favorite character in Ep3, Rick stated that he thought Palpatine was fantastic.

? Three words that Darth Vader speaks in Ep3 are "I don't fear..." !!

? The movie will explain all of Anakin's injuries except for one (the facial scar as noted in the recent HS set diary).

? Currently, production is two days ahead of schedule, but the underwater scenes (with the water tank) are quite challenging.

? Ep3 will provide the answers the fans have been waiting for, but may also pose some new questions.

? The opening battle is entirely in space, but there will be land battles in the film.

? Only small segments of the duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan have been filmed. The main action is yet to come.

? September 19th will be Hayden's last day of filming.

? Rick and/or George have never changed a scene for musical scoring purposes.

? Kamino is not in Episode III.

? Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) will film his scenes in March of 2004.

? The underwater scenes are not a battle, but a fight.

? Count Dooku will only use one lightsaber in Ep3.

? One character in the film will use two lightsabers at once "and he's bad."

? A certain amount of Jedi will die in Ep3, but Rick would not specify how many.

? There will be a scene when Anakin is given the name of Darth Vader and an explanation as to why he was given the name and what it means.

? Rick refused to comment on the possibility of a volcanic environment or planet.

? We will see Mace in a certain form of "space action".

? Rick would not give any hints on the EU character that appears in the film.

? All the hairstyles are bad in Ep3, which will link the film to the Classic Trilogy.

? It won't be the special effects that make the Obi-Wan/Anakin duel so thrilling, it will be the betrayal.

? Joel Edgerton (Owen Lars) will shoot one day's work of shooting in 2004.

? We will definitely see Palpatine/Sidious use an "awesome display of the dark side of the force".

? Beru Whitesun (Bonnie Piesse) will appear in the film along with Owen.

? Rick felt saddened, shocked, angry and betrayed after reading the story of Anakin's downfall.

? Chewbacca will be easily identified during his scenes and character depth will be added to the classic trilogy Chewbacca.

? The originally planned six sets of alien armor have been reduced to one set.

? The one character that will make the best action figure is the one character Rick is not allowed to discuss.

? Dave Prowse will not be playing Darth Vader.

? Many people believe the reason Anakin turns to the dark side is a love triangle between Anakin, Padm? and Obi-Wan.

? John Williams will begin scoring the film in November of 2004.

? The last ten minutes of the film will be "a dream come true" for all fans. ...

? Until a final cut of the film is ready, it is too early to predict how the score may blend in with some of the Classic Trilogy musical themes.

? Rick didn't confirm or deny that a major character in the film, other than Boba Fett, is a clone.

? The story will move much quicker than the previous films.

? About 80 pages of script have been shot so far.
