STAR WARS EPISODIO III: LA VENGANZA DE LOS SITH r4

Esto es un extracto del Newsletter de Star Wars (Homing beacon) del 10 de Noviembre:

Now that Episode III is available on DVD, viewers can carefully
examine the painstaking work of Animation Director Rob Coleman and
his team that brought the many digital characters to life, including
Jedi Master Yoda.

To get his animation team back in prime shape for their work ahead on
Episode III, Coleman says that they replaced the footage of the
Episode I Yoda puppet with their Episode III digital model as a test
to see how far they could push his usual performance boundaries. This
footage worked its way into the DVD, where it can be see as part of
"The Chosen One" featurette on Disc 2.

"We did that between Episodes II and III as an exercise to get the
team back into the character," Coleman explains. "On Episode II, I
was stressing about living up to what Frank [Oz] had created. A lot
of our focus was on the final battle sequence between Yoda and Count
Dooku. We had never seen Yoda do that before. In the process, we were
learning about acting as animators. It was really exciting for me to
have the team back again between Episode II and III. We used Episode
I as a testbed because we didn't know what was going to be in Episode
III, so we got the team back up to speed. We really honed our acting
skills and, using that as a springboard, we moved right on to Episode
III."


Esto despeja las dudas que algunos tenian con respecto a que este segmento parecía un indicador de que ya se estaba trabajando en una edicion especial del episodio I. Por otro lado, no quiere decir que no se vaya a hacer esa edicion especial
