EP3: More From Comic-Con Posted By Scott on July 19, 2003
ComingSoon.Net added a few more details about the Star Wars presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con:
The Star Wars portion of the presentation began with a message from producer Rick McCallum, expressing his excitement over beginning the filming of Episode III. Next, Anthony Daniels (C-3PO himself) takes us on a brief tour of the massive Fox Studio Australia sound stage and the set of Episode III, which included Padme's chamber and the deck of a Federation Cruiser. Then he took us through the creature and props departments, which included a look at a new laser rifle. In the wardrobe department, Trisha Biggar was struggling with a particular red costume that looked a bit like a Royal Guard outfit. Following that, a tour of various set construction was set to the Ewok theme.
The following was also mentioned:
Sansweet reassured fans that Episode III will answer the "Why" and "How" of the saga. He added that while most of the main characters are returning, some of the characters from the classic trilogy also emerge, such as Chewie and Mon Mothma. He also promised new vehicles, weapons, creatures and planets that we've only heard or read about.
In closing, Sansweet said Episode III will 'surprise, amaze and shock.' He reinforced that it will be the darkest of the six saga films and promised that it will tie the series together in 'unexpected and surprising' ways.
