Frank tells us about a Star Wars documentary that aired in the UK on Saturday afternoon (possible spoilers ahead):
Just a quick mail about a EpII making of programme that aired in the UK on ITV1 (4.50pm on Saturday). Hidden in the Saturday Schedule was 'The A - Z of Star Wars', a 30 min programme about making EpII (though did contain footage of the other films inc behind the scenes of ESB with a Darth/Luke practice saber fight in half costume!!).
What made the programme standout was the trailer at the start for the ITV channels airing of all 4 Star wars films (a pretty good promo with loads of saber fight clips). In the documentary itself, there was behind the scenes footage of them filiming 3 sequences not in the final movie:
(highlight to read)
Ewan fighting something on the Geonosian mountain path
Ewan boarding his ship while talking to Sam Jackson
Christopher Lee fighting with 2 sabers and then one whizzes out of his hand
I had not seen these before (though may have been on offical site web docs??).
Oliver adds:
The best clip was the 'Jango Fett vs Obi-wan' scene which was shown in almost its entirety.
