Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith: Videos

New Vodafone UK TV ad featuring Jedi Master Yoda. The ad focuses on RED Box, a service that automatically transfers contacts and content from your old phone to your new one. Yoda tries to use his power to help a couple with the daunting task of transferring numbers to the husband's new smartphone, but, he soon realises that the Force is not needed, as Vodafone's new RED Box service has already solved the problem.

To celebrate the opening of the Star Tours attraction, Darth Vader, accompanied by two Stormtroopers, visits the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim California.

The cables that snake along the stage floor of Episode III's shooting environment form an intricate web connecting key players of the production. George Lucas directs the actors on stage, but behind the curtain of blue and greenscreen is an entire world literally working behind-the-scenes. From the tent that contains the vital HD recording gear, to the soundboard that gathers production dialogue -- this documentary peeks behind the curtain to see just who lurks in the shadows.

It's happened to almost everyone. You line up your subjects just perfectly in frame for that once-in-a-lifetime snapshot. When you get the film back from the developer, you notice that the person on the left is caught mid-blink. If only you had seen what you captured at the time you snapped the picture...
While digital cameras have helped the amateur photographer, they've radically upended the guesswork of modern moviemaking. Gone is the alchemy and photochemical uncertainties of shooting film that would not be developed for hours -- or even days. Thanks to the precision HD cameras and their big-screen plasma feeds, the director and everyone on the crew could see Episode III as it happened.
So pull up a chair to Video Village, the place where the action unfolds in pristine high definition clarity, and watch the making of Episode III.

Not bound to the limitations and time-intensive processes associated with traditional film, the all-digital Episode III still has an elaborate production process spanning continents and disciplines. Follow the life of "tape B-107" as it begins its Sith journey on a soundstage in Sydney and ultimately delivers a big-screen battle that once again pits Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker against the evil Count Dooku.

What scares you? A Jedi should know no fear, but facing a remorseless killer like General Grievous can give even the most dedicated follower of the Jedi Code reason to pause.
The introduction of this new villain in Episode III accompanies the closing battles of the Clone Wars, when both Republic and the Separatist forces have a chance to stab at the very heart of their enemy. While Count Dooku acts as the political leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, it is General Grievous who commands the endless ranks of soulless droid soldiers.
This documentary examines the genesis of Grievous, and how the Episode III Art Department came to design the evil General of the Droid Army.

The time for teleconferencing is over. George Lucas' arrival in Sydney instantly hurries the pace of pre-production for Episode III, as the start date of filming looms ever closer.
Among the challenges to be juggled by the various departments are cementing the connections between this film and the rest of the saga. Episode III is two movies in many ways. It has its own identity and story, but must also bridge the generational gap to Episode IV. From props to costumes to makeup and more, this production is the missing puzzle piece of the entire saga.
This documentary continues where the first left off. Once the final preparations are in place, the actual principal photography on the last Star Wars movie can finally begin.

Episode III is the story of Darth Vader and the emergence of the classic villain from a fallen hero. But the mastermind of this dark plot also finally comes to the forefront, as Darth Sidious reveals his ultimate plan to rule the galaxy. Critics and filmgoers alike have been universal in their praise of Ian McDiarmid's performance in Episode III -- some contend that he steals the show. In this webdoc, witness the transformation of McDiarmid into Palpatine, and the transformation from seemingly humble politician to the ultimate face of evil.

C-3PO has been an integral part of Star Wars since the earliest concept sketches, and has lent considerable humor and humanity to the saga for twenty-seven years. As filming completes on the final big-screen Star Wars adventure, the familiar protocol droid enters his role in the darkest chapter outfitted in his shiniest body.
Go with actor Anthony Daniels on the end of the C-3PO journey... that ultimately leads back to the beginning.
