How is working on Star Wars
production design different than any other movie? How different is Episode
II than the other Star Wars movies?
This report comes from the Official Star Wars Site!

The move from Episode I to Episode II was a very smooth move from one environment to another. If you took out the year and a half gap in between them, for me, it would have just melted together very easily. From that point of view, it's been a sort of a straightforward move.
The difference between Star Wars and other films is immense, if only for the sheer volume of visualizations that need to come out and be produced for the backgrounds. I don't think any other film probably would demand that much creativity coming from different people in different departments -- set design, Art Department, costumes etc. The more creative people you can get in the process, the better.
It would be very arrogant for one person to think that you could create five worlds of architecture, of furnishings, of spacecraft, of whatever, by yourself. It needs to come from as many different people, channeled through the department heads and through George Lucas.
