I did a lot of praying about 3 years ago that somehow Lucas and Spielberg would arrange for Spielberg to direct Revenge of the Sith. Obviously that didn’t happen. But according to a new book entitled “The Making of Star Wars, Episide III – Revenge of the Sith”, Lucas did in fact get Spielbergs creativity involved.
The good folks at Monsters and Ctritics give us this:
As George explains in the book, he gave Spielberg a few scenes to play with at the animatics stage: a bit of the Mustafar duel, and Yoda’s duel with the Emperor, along with a couple of others. How much of Spielberg’s contribution made it to the final film, only Lucas or Spielberg could say, particularly as George revised and reinvented every scene in the film so extensively in editorial.
May 19th just can’t come fast enough folks. I’m counting the days.
