Principal Photography on Star Wars III Complete

Posted by michael on from the return-of-the-clone-jar-jar dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Principal photography for Star Wars III ended yesterday, and they're starting up on the 18 month post-production. Although denied by ILM, here is a quick taste of what the story for episode III might be like (either taken from Lucas' journal in 1983, or just a fake from an insider way back then)."

    Okay, you can't even pretend like that's a good idea.

    There's a great picture of Anakin/Vader still floating around (hi-res one was taken down).

    And let me correct myself before everyone else does - the word from Lucas back then was a vision of 3 movies set long before the original 3, in which there would be no characters that overlap with the original 3 except the robots, and that followed by the last 3 episodes, again with only the robots as a common thread. He certainly had no intention of making the first 3 include Darth Vader, Yoda or anyone else he might be weaseling in because of their obvious marketing potential back in '83 when he was laying out his plan for the 9 movies.

    Anybody read Splinter of the Mind's Eye? This plot seems to borrow fairly heavily from it. Its initial publication was after A New Hope and prior to Empire. Chances are Lucas didn't (and won't) use large portions of the plot from that book as the basis of the next movie. Also, I was pretty young then, but I'm pretty sure "genetic engineering" wasn't a household term in 1983.
