This picture is a cool one, i'd love to see this kinda clone trooper in action, notice the helmet looks very GG-esque

aka Sky Trooper.

New one. Nice pic too.

New one is up....first lame one we've had, we've already seen the final rendered versions of the Spherey-spider-matrix looking things that attack OB1's ship...

...Nevermind, 3 outta 4 aint bad....

It's kinda hard to make out exactly what's going on in the storyboard too. Not really a lot of detail in the buzz droids at all.

I look forward to the "Art of..." books almost as much as the movie.

Christ - it's about time they confirm a Pudu planet

Utapau confirmed!

From my memory, Utapau=Tatooine in the early scripts.

Yeah, it was usually the setting that was the most similar to Tatooine.

That's right! I totally forgot about that. It's all about fun facts!

What's the caption under the Utapau one?

New one up. Titled "Just When You Thought It Was Safe...".

Basically it's "Super Battle Droids" underwater, which looks pretty good, except that the scene has already been cut from the film.

Beautiful colours, though.

It doesn't really say. I guess it's just this scene which shows battle droids underwater. Whether they've cut the whole of the "underwater" idea out of the movie is anyone's guess, since we have seen obi-wan and anakin swimming in the webdocs.

Well, it's fuel not water so I don't think they would be able to use their lightsabers near the stuff anyway. If you look at the way the caption is worded, it says this IMAGE was cut. There's a lot of shots in all the SW movies that look exactly like the paintings. So there may have been a single shot based off this painting but was cut.

Personally I don't think the whole fuel room sequence was cut. According to spoiler reports so far, the engine room exploding is what causes the ship's distress and requires Anakin to crash land the thing on Coruscant. We still need more details about the TF Cruiser adventure since its sequence of events is still a little hazy.

If one recalls - JR sent me info about the EU Tank in Episode III. The info was posted publically in the I-SHOT-JR spoiler thread but after all the server crashes and member massacres, it is now no longer there.


However I still have the original email + plus the included JR EU fan art collage from Febuary 2004:

I'm not big on wheeled vehicles in Star Wars. But what the heck.

I always thought that vehicle was cool ever since I bought the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels years ago, but I have to agree that it really does seem out of place in Star Wars. Does anyone remember where it first appeared anyway? The EG doesn't say.

It appeared as concept art for the Hoth battle in ESB.

The wheels on the Juggernaut are much thicker.

Mon Calamari dancer looks shit hot and shit cool.

Star Wars/Furry types are feeling sexual joy from that pic. I just know it. It looks neat enough. Hot? No.

Looks unsettling to me.

if people at work saw me looking that, strange looks I would get.

It just seems wrong

I think it look cools and it will look even better in a gravity free environment.

New one's up...

In The Hot Seat

Picture of a member of a member of Tion Medon's species sitting in a chair.

This species concept was originally envisioned by artist Sang Jun Lee as living on a very hot, very inhospitable world. Later on in the creative process, Director George Lucas decided to place the species in a more lush environment.

This is the first shitty one of the lot....

Yawn.

New one is up... Signal Difficulties

Confirmation that Obi-Wan tries to change the Jedi Temple's distress call to warn the remaining Jedi not to return.

Damn, that Anakin is a sneaky bastard.

Cool. I had completely forgotten about that Jedi Temple distress beacon spoiler. That shot reminds me of the computer mainframe maze in THX-1138. Electronic Labyrinth indeed.

I really like the look of this. I hope it's close in the film.

Interesting!

I think this room has been changed to the Senate! We have a pic of Obi and Bail in this room....

We have? Are you talking about the Topps card, or something else?

Yeah there is a Topps card - also, Obi was added to the scene later. Originally, only Bail entered the Senate.

I don't recall seeing this room before.

They did film that "lightsaber dispenser" sliding drawer-thing during principle photography. I give even odds it's in this scene.

There is one of Bail and Obi looking at something - the title is Fear for the Future or some such thing.

I'd bang that metal body.

Cato Neimoidia looks funky. I would have liked to see that in the movie.

Does this mean Cato Neimoidia has been renamed??

Has it been cut out completely, or merely from the opening?



Sounds that way...it'll probably been revealed in the EU.

Judging by the bridge-like cities, I´d say this was the "bridge-world" we heard about being cut many months ago.

Looks like the native animals get caught up in all the action and start chasing a Jedi commander.
