• Obi-Wan in front of starfighter pic: "Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) talks to Commander Cody (Temuera Morrison) and another clone trooper (Bodie Taylor) in front of his new Jedi starfighter - complete with droid R4-G9. The set, on Fox Studios Australia's Stage 5, represents a landing platform aboard a Republic battle cruiser. In Episode III, only Morrison's and Taylor's heads will be seen above CG-clone trooper-armored bodies."
