The casting of Sir Alec Guinness in the original Star Wars movie brought with it a weight and legitimacy that elevated the simple space romp into something greater. His performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi not only garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but gave such an abstract concept as the Force and its study a certain reality for an entire generation of filmgoers. With the prequel trilogy, Ewan McGregor stepped in to fill the role of a younger Kenobi. In Episodes I through III, audiences have watched Obi-Wan mature from a fresh-faced Padawan learner to a seasoned General in the Clone Wars. With Revenge of the Sith, McGregor comes closest to the Kenobi that Guinness portrayed. In doing, McGregor -- a life-long Star Wars fan -- completes his journey as the greatest Jedi Knight of the saga.

Eleven days to fill in the holes. Eleven days to patch the live action gaps in the current edit of Episode III. That was the timeframe for the stint of additional photography that took place at the end of August at Shepperton Studios in England.

Pick-up photography has become an increasingly common tool in filmmaking. It is a way to add to and refine the growing story during a very organic production process. Here's a look at what it means to Episode III, and how the edit shapes production and vice-versa in the very malleable world of Star Wars filmmaking.

Though the new Star Wars trilogy is filled end-to-end with cutting edge digital filmmaking techniques and computer-generated visual effects, there are still times when you need to roll up your sleeves and do things the old fashioned way. Special Effects are different than Visual Effects. Though both are illusions, Special Effects (SFX) happen in front of the camera, in real time during production, while Visual Effects (VFX) are done by ILM during postproduction, after shooting has wrapped. This is a look at the world of Dave Young, Episode III Special Effects Supervisor. His effects are a different kind of high tech, using computer-controlled machinery, steam and hydraulic-powered devices, and the occasional time-tested low-tech solution to make real the unreal. With the script calling for flying sparks, choking smoke, whipping winds, churning waves, rocking speeders and tumbling corridors, Young's work is cut out for him in the final Star Wars film.
