Is that a fake? Did they just cut and paste a CG proto-stormtrooper and just overlay it onto a blue screen or did they actually build real armored suits for Episode III?

All they've done is taken an early-Stormtrooper helmet and placed it on a Clonetrooper from Geonosis body.

Not true. Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun attacked Coruscant during the Sith War...500 years after the Great Hyperspace War. Kun even held the Senate transfixed by the Dark Side as he murdered the Chancellor when he rescued Qel-Droma.

Since this time the Sith Lord IS the Chancellor, I suspect anything on the planet's surface won't be quite as spectacular.

And of course remember Palpatine is "kidnapped" by Dooku. Palpatine probably fixed it so they could get there in the first place.

I was thinking along the lines of orbital battles; I hadn't forgotten about Kun's little fun on the floor of the Senate Chamber.

Ah. Well, in that case, carry on.

So, let's see how many times Coruscant has been attacked thus far -- that we know of, anyway:

* Great Hyperspace War -- Naga Sadow landed ground forces a

* Sith War -- Exar's little ground-based fun on the Senate floor.

* Clone Wars -- See ROTS.

* Galactic Civil War -- original New Republic capture (X-Wing novels), Thrawn's asteroid strike (TLC), Clone Palpatine's attack/New Republic counter (Dark Empire).

* Yuuzhan Vong Invasion: Taking of the planet in Star by Star, recaptured in The Unifying Force.

Is this one Photoshopped? I have a sneaking suspicion that that looks like the same pose he took holding his lightsaber to Jango's throat...

Possibly -- but given the rumors I've read on Windu's death sequence, me thinks it's likely the real deal.

Yeah, it is. Pretty badly, too. The lighting and focus is wrong all over the place.

And I think it might be from when Windu was holding his saber against Dooku.

...

Am I the only one who can clearly see where the fake pictures and and begin?

Shit, they're even preceeded by:

These are from the storyboard section of the site given in each.
They are fakes, but damn good ones.
I post them here so you can get an idea of how some of the
scenes will look.

They end at the end of that post. They even list the Before The Magic url on them and all have the same borders, for Kyla Cole's fucking sake.

Your lack of skill of spotting fakes is disturbing.

I have limited experience with photoshop and such; It's like with the early episodes of GTO with the fake pictures in my case...

That is clearly Mace mirrored from arena encounter, Anakin and Palps cut out and offset time from their AOTC discussion, no idea on when Fitso ever had a back shot, could be promo or something else.

Mace is lit from the right, while Palps and Anakin are lit from the left, even with a multiple sourced room they would wash each others shadows out abit at least. Anakin has a shadow yet the middle equipment right behind him doesn't.

All pics here are either real or fakes based on insider info, so everything´s fine.

EDIT: I think insiders mentioned that Windu brings along a small Jedi task-force when he confronts the Chancellor, including Kit Fisto. That would explain why he´s in the photoshopped pic as well. They apparently take out the Chancellor´s Crimson Guards, before confronting him and Anakin.

Meest · Post by **Meest** » 2004-10-02 06:54pm

At the same time I thought it's been leaked that there is more than just Mace and Fisto in that confrontation.

They cut and pasted a CG trooper. I'm sure the trooper is the real deal, however

1. It has been stated that no uniforms have been constructed.
2. You can see where the artist(?) tried to clean up around the trooper. (Note the series of coarse pixels on the edge of the left shoulder. I get this a lot when I clean images cut from MSPaint.)
3. Putting a CG object in front of a blue screen is redundant.

What also threw me off is, with the glare on Anakin, it looks like his hair is ROTS-esuqe, not his Padawan look from ATOC.

It has Kit fisto and the death star. It's clearly fake.

As I said, that leaked script is HIGHLY suspect as a fake.
