It ain’t hip to be labeled a hippie







With DISCLOSURE DAY out this Friday, let’s look back at Steven Spielberg’s overlooked contributions to REVENGE OF THE SITH you may not know about…. Spielberg served as a guest director and contributed to the film's pre-visualization stage. He visually storyboard several key sequences, including the Order 66 montage, the Yoda vs Palpatine duel, and the Mustafar duel. Spielberg suggested obscuring the on-screen Jedi deaths to make them more tragic. Specifically, he came up with the idea of having the camera move up behind a big plant so Aayla Secura’s actual death is hidden from the audience’s view. Spielberg also reportedly conceptualized the "I have the high ground” sequence during Obi-Wan and Anakin’s duel. Arguably the greatest director of all time had a huge impact on one of the greatest Star Wars movies of all time.





How does C-3PO have access to a language closely related to that spoken by an uncontacted tribe? Did he have a secret life traveling with an explorer before Anakin (re)built him? Are Ewoks actually a genetic offshoot of Wookiees that lost their ancestors' advanced technology?

I still think about The Order 66 scenes from Episode 3. The Padawan on the bridge is my favorite


Say what you will about Attack of the Clones but everytime I hear people complain about the plot of the prequels it just always sounds like that Cosmonaut guy explaining the steps of Palpatine’s assassination plan and calling it dumb because Palpatine wasn’t directly tied to it
