Episode III Duel |
Prequel
Watch has a great article on the impending lightsaber
duel between Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan. Currently, there are a few
production pieces that are being worked on:
- Hayden Christensen has already begun a rigorous work-out
regiment. As they put it, he's "beefing up" and
getting into top physical shape. In a recent issue of Star
Wars Insider Rick McCallum stated that "Hayden will
change physically in this film." He's going to be bigger...
and not just for the Vader stuff. It also means Hayden as Anakin
will likely be a more imposing figure as well. Hayden starting
lifting weights and working out 6 weeks ago... and he will
continue to keep in shape all the way into and through the end
of filming (another year or two).
- Nick Gillard is already blocking "at least one" duel
between Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan. In fact, he began some work in
August.
- Both Hayden and Ewan McGregor will report to Fox Studios
Australia as soon as late February or early March to begin
working on the duel(s)...a full 3-4 months before shooting
begins. (Principal Photography is still set to kick off on June
26, 2003).
Cool stuff! Be sure to go here
to read the full article! I am eagerly anticipating what Episode III
has in store for us. It is also hard knowing that it will all end as
well. After living with Star Wars since its inception in 1977, it
has become a way of life for me. What will become all of the fan
sites? Only time will tell.
