There's a new set diary on the Marketing website of Lucasfilm, and Force-Keeper posts this summary of the action it contains:

0835 -- "Final checks" are called as we set up for the first shot of the day. Hayden Christensen gets into position at the end of a long blue catwalk.

The call sheets describe these morning shots as "Long Walks." They're very much transitional scenes, bridging the scenery change as Anakin walks from one environment to another. A wind machine is at one end of the stage, offering up a laugh as its power lifts up a flap of blue carpeting.

Ian back in the Most Powerful Chair in the Galaxy. With it sitting unattended throughout the morning, many in the crew got to experience the giddy thrill of sitting in the prequel equivalent of the Emperor's throne.

Jedi Masters -- Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto and Saesee Tiin will be in a newly added scene in the edit, these Jedi are shot against a blue rostrum that's supposed to represent a Republic gunship.

Five extras come in dressed in Jedi robes to fill out a scene with Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and our collective imaginations as Yoda.

Vanilla_Zinger gives us lots to think about here, too:

- The Set Diary on 8/30, "The Circle Is Incomplete," talks about a scene between Mace and Anakin in a gunship hangar at the Jedi temple. This was the scene we saw on the webcam with Mace & his posse. Today's Set Diary talks about the posse taking off in a gunship. Food for thought by itself. But for further speculation, note that we've heard of Anakin rushing to his speeder, flying somewhere else on Coruscant, rushing out, hurrying up the theater steps and into Palpatine's private box. Might there be a connection?

- Interesting that we have Yoda giving Obi-Wan and some random Jedi the order to attack. Maybe this refers to the Utapau conflict, where Obi-Wan tells Commander Cody "We still have a battle to win." Yoda would be speaking via holographic transmission. I can't think of any other situation this would apply to, without concocting a battle scene we've not yet heard of.

- The first and last hours of the film are all fighting. The middle contains "the gushy stuff." While Lucas probably didn't mean that literally, I still think I'll have to revise my time estimates. As I previously viewed it, we had three swatches of action - the opening space battle & cruiser rescue; the battles on Kashyyyk & Utapau, Obi-Wan/Grievous, the death of Mace; and the Jedi Temple, Yoda/Sidious, The Duel and whatever space action may be involved in escaping with Padme and/or the kids. But if it breaks up more nicely into two swatches of action, what do we group where? Got to think about it.
