That’s…kinda cool actually
Not just kinda, pretty dang cool
Honestly in terms of sets? Very little of the Prequels were CGI. Lucas actively attempted to cultivate the idea that he used CGI for everything because he wanted to be perceived as cutting edge. Mustufar? That’s an actual miniature set. The poured jello over the top of neon lights to make the lava. Naboo? Also used miniatures; they used salt instead of water to make the water falls look right at that scale.
Okay, are we all just gonna ignore that set designers had to painstakingly cut, paint, and arrange 500,000 q-tips?!?
The models for the clone facilities on Kamino are some of my faves from the PT, seen here being worked on by Adam Savage!
Holy shit, that’s really cool
It’s almost like the PT aren’t pieces of shit like people assume!
“They poured jello over the top of neon lights to make the lava” honestly this is the only way lava being mustafar’s main export makes any sense
PREQUELS APPRECIATION
Adam Savage worked on Star Wars?
