How Thrawn Blockaded Coruscant Without a Fleet

Thrawn was always unpredictable but how he managed to blockade Coruscant in 9ABY was just brilliant. Those damn space whales robbed us of a hero that could’ve bought true stability to the galaxy.

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - The Special Effects of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

The Gungan world primarily refers to the underwater domains of the Gungans on the planet Naboo in the Star Wars universe. The Gungans are an amphibious species native to Naboo, sharing the planet with the human Naboo people (like Queen Amidala's culture), but they mostly live in hidden underwater cities to maintain their isolationist lifestyle.
Their most famous and prominent city is Otoh Gunga (often just called Gungan City), located deep beneath the surface of Lake Paonga. It's a breathtaking marvel of Gungan technology: a vast cluster of glowing, jewel-like hydrostatic bubble structures connected by energy fields and tunnels. These bubbles create breathable atmospheres inside while keeping the water out, and they're rigid enough to withstand the lake's pressure but flexible enough for Gungans to swim through special portals.

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Creating the Gungan World in Episode I - The Phantom Menace

"Creating the Worlds of Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" refers to the behind-the-scenes process of building the expansive, immersive environments and planets in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005).

George Lucas and his team at Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), and the art department pushed digital filmmaking further than ever before, blending practical sets, miniatures, location shooting, and heavy CG to realize key worlds like Coruscant, Mustafar, Kashyyyk, Utapau, and others.
Key Worlds and How They Were Created

Coruscant (urban planet, Senate, Jedi Temple, opera house):
Building on Episodes I and II, the team expanded the ecumenopolis with massive digital cityscapes. The new opera house scene used practical chairs shot against bluescreen in Australia, combined with digital/miniature architecture for the opulent, gilded interior. Production designer Gavin Bocquet's team created detailed blueprints and studies, often zapped digitally between Skywalker Ranch and shooting locations.

Mustafar (volcanic duel planet):
One of the most iconic and challenging. Early concepts drew from Ralph McQuarrie's sketches of lava worlds. The team built large-scale practical sets (e.g., foam-carved lava fields) for actor interaction, then layered in extensive CG by ILM artists like Jeremy Cook and Yannick Dusseault for rivers of lava, eruptions, and platforms. The final lightsaber duel environment mixed greenscreen stages, miniatures, and digital extensions to create a hellish, flowing volcanic landscape.

Kashyyyk (Wookiee homeworld):
A lush, tree-based planet recreated with a mix of miniatures (massive tree city models at ILM), plate photography, and digital landscapes. Practical elements like foliage props were used on set for interaction (e.g., Tarfful clearing branches). It was designed to feel exotic and impossible in reality, with the battle sequences combining these elements for breathtaking scale.

Utapau (sinkhole city planet):
Entirely digital/CG-heavy, with sprawling underground cities built through pre-visualization, art department designs, and ILM's environment work. Practical sets were minimal, focusing on actor platforms against greenscreen.

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Creating the Worlds of Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

The iconic Palpatine vs Yoda matchup is one of the most debated in all of Star Wars, especially since we actually see them clash in Revenge of the Sith (Episode III).
In current Star Wars canon (post-2014 Disney continuity), their duel in the Senate chamber ends with Yoda retreating after being overpowered in the Force lightning exchange and falling to a lower level. Official sources (like the Star Wars Databank and various tie-in materials) describe it as Darth Sidious (Palpatine) being too strong for Yoda to defeat, overwhelming him with the dark side's power. Yoda didn't "lose" in the sense of being killed—he chose to flee because continuing the fight would likely end in his death, and he realized the Jedi's immediate cause was lost after Order 66. The fight is often called a stalemate in terms of skill, but Palpatine held the edge in raw dark side power and achieved his strategic goal (the Jedi Order shattered, Empire rising), while Yoda survived to train the next generation.

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Yoda VS Palpatine (Darth Sidious) Animatronics(Episode III)

The Battle of Kashyyyk (also called the Battle of Kachirho) is a key sequence in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). It takes place on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk during the final days of the Clone Wars, as part of the Separatists' Outer Rim Sieges offensive.

In the film, Jedi Master Yoda leads Republic forces, including clone troopers from the 41st Elite Corps (commanded by Clone Commander Gree) and Wookiee warriors (including Chewbacca and Tarfful), to defend against a Separatist droid invasion. The battle features intense ground combat on the beaches and tree cities of Kashyyyk, with Wookiees charging into battle, ripping apart droids, and using bowcasters alongside clone support and Jedi leadership.

The scene is visually stunning, showing massive walker vehicles, laser fire across the shores, and Wookiees roaring as they fight back the droid army. It's one of the movie's montage sequences showing simultaneous battles across the galaxy (like Utapau and Coruscant fallout).

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Kenobi VS Skywalker Animatronics (Episode III)

Padmé Amidala (full name Padmé Amidala Naberrie) is one of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars saga. Portrayed by Natalie Portman, she first appears in The Phantom Menace (1999) as the young, elected Queen of Naboo, leading her planet through a Trade Federation invasion with remarkable courage and diplomacy.

She later becomes the Senator of Naboo during the Clone Wars, fighting for democracy and peace in the Galactic Senate while secretly marrying Anakin Skywalker. Their forbidden romance is central to the prequel trilogy, leading to the birth of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Tragically, Padmé dies in childbirth in Revenge of the Sith, losing the will to live after witnessing Anakin's fall to the dark side.

Key facts about her:

Born: 46 BBY on Naboo
Roles: Queen of Naboo (elected at age 14), later Senator
Personality: Intelligent, compassionate, fiercely dedicated to justice and democracy — a true leader who wasn't afraid to fight (blaster in hand!) or negotiate.
Famous line: "So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause." (watching Palpatine declare the Empire)

She's often praised for her strength, political idealism, and iconic fashion — those elaborate royal gowns and battle outfits are legendary.

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Padmé Amidala Naberrie

The Classic Duel: Revenge of the Sith (2005) – Mustafar Battle
The most famous "Kenobi vs Skywalker" confrontation is the epic "Battle of the Heroes" on Mustafar in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. This roughly 7-minute sequence is one of the most elaborate lightsaber fights in the franchise.

Choreography and Training — Nick Gillard (stunt coordinator) designed it to reflect their master-apprentice history, blending Anakin's aggressive Djem So style with Obi-Wan's defensive Soresu. Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen trained intensely for months, performing most of the fight themselves.

Filming Techniques — The scene mixed practical sets (with real platforms and walkways over lava) and extensive green/blue screen work for the volcanic environment and lava rivers, which were completed with heavy CGI/VFX in post-production.

Behind-the-Scenes Highlights — Footage shows the actors in rehearsal, wire work for jumps and flips, and the crew capturing the emotional intensity. The duel was meant to feel personal and tragic, mirroring their real-life friendship off-screen.

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Kenobi VS Skywalker Behind the Scenes (Episode III)

The famous duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous appears in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), set on Utapau. It's a brief but iconic lightsaber fight where Grievous wields four lightsabers (taken from fallen Jedi), while Obi-Wan uses his single blue blade before famously switching to a blaster to exploit Grievous' vulnerability (his organic components and fear of being shot).

Behind-the-scenes details for this sequence are somewhat limited compared to longer duels like Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, as Grievous is fully CGI (motion-captured and animated), and the fight choreography was designed to showcase his multi-arm ferocity without a prolonged physical bout. Here's what stands out from production insights:

Choreography origins — The fight draws from stunt performer work during pre-production for Revenge of the Sith. Early rehearsals and stunt tests featured human performers (likely doubles for Obi-Wan and Grievous concepts) in two-arm versions before the character was finalized with four mechanical arms. This evolved into the spinning, whirlwind-style attacks Grievous uses in the film. Recent fan recreations and breakdowns on platforms like Instagram and TikTok often recreate or reference these early stunt-based versions for comparison.

Grievous' creation and performance — As a fully digital character, Grievous' movements came from motion capture and keyframe animation by ILM. Behind-the-scenes footage (seen in various making-of clips and YouTube shorts) highlights how his cough, body language, and combat style were refined. Director George Lucas and the team emphasized Grievous as a "Jedi killer" trained by Count Dooku, but the fight was kept short to reflect Obi-Wan's tactical efficiency rather than a drawn-out slugfest.

Deleted or alternate concepts — There are references to extended or alternate versions of the confrontation in fan discussions and clips (e.g., on TikTok and YouTube), including ideas for a more elaborate duel before it was trimmed for pacing. The final scene prioritizes Obi-Wan's classic "so uncivilized" line after using the blaster.
Making-of resources — Official Revenge of the Sith documentaries and featurettes (available on Disney+ or older DVDs) cover Grievous' design, voice (Matthew Wood), and the Utapau set build, with some glimpses of fight prep. Fan-uploaded clips often compile raw stunt rehearsals or early tests showing the evolution from two-armed to four-armed combat.

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Kenobi VS Grievous Behind the Scenes (Episode III)

Planet Utapau from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005) is one of the most visually striking worlds in the prequel trilogy, famous for its massive sinkholes housing sprawling cities, the home of the tall, gaunt Pau'ans and shorter Utai, and the climactic showdown where Obi-Wan Kenobi defeats General Grievous.

Behind the scenes, Utapau's creation blended practical effects, miniatures, and heavy CGI—typical of the prequels' ambitious visual style under George Lucas and ILM.

Concept and Design Origins
The name "Utapau" dates back to George Lucas's early drafts of the original Star Wars in the 1970s (it was once considered for Tatooine or Naboo before being repurposed). The sinkhole planet concept drew from Ralph McQuarrie's 1976 artwork envisioning a similar world, later revived for the prequels.

Early Utapau inhabitant designs explored lemur-like, hairy creatures to match a "fragile" world, but these were scrapped. Artist Lee Sang-jun adapted a Mustafar religious society concept into the tall, pale Pau'ans in purple robes. Erik Tiemens created key concept art in 2002–2003, including vast caverns for the Grievous chase.

Filming and Effects:

Practical elements: Ewan McGregor performed scenes on physical sets, including a mechanical saddle on a hydraulic rig for riding the varactyl (Boga), later replaced with CGI. A Komodo dragon inspired Boga's animation.

Miniatures: A detailed miniature set depicted the sinkhole cities and landscapes.
CGI dominance: ILM handled the expansive environments, sinkholes, and crowds using digital mattes and previs (pre-visualization). Steven Spielberg guest-directed some Utapau chase previs.
Actors: Bruce Spence wore practical makeup as Port Administrator Tion Medon (initially debated as full CGI vs. practical).

Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Planet Utapau Behind the Scenes (Episode III)

This is one of the most famous action set pieces in the prequel trilogy: the high-stakes space battle, crash-landing into the hangar, lightsaber duel with Count Dooku, and the dramatic rescue that sets up Anakin's darker path. Fans often discuss it as "rescuing the Chancellor," and behind-the-scenes material covers everything from practical effects, green-screen work, fight choreography, to George Lucas's direction.
Key Behind-the-Scenes Highlights

Filming the Space Battle & Ship Interiors — Much of the opening was done with massive practical sets combined with CGI. The Invisible Hand's bridge and corridors were built on soundstages at Shepperton Studios (UK), with actors performing in front of green screens for the vast space exteriors. Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen did a lot of wire work and stunt training for the zero-gravity feel in the elevator shaft scene.
Lightsaber Duel with Christopher Lee — The Dooku vs. Anakin/Obi-Wan fight was choreographed by Nick Gillard. Lee (then in his 80s) performed many of his own moves, but doubles and editing handled the more intense bits. Behind-the-scenes footage shows Lucas directing the precise blocking to make Anakin's rage visible.

Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) — He was chained up for the "captive" scenes, and there's fun BTS where the cast jokes about the absurdity of Palpatine being "helpless." McDiarmid has shared in interviews how he layered in subtle Sith hints even in these early scenes.

Deleted/Extended Material — The DVD/Blu-ray extras include featurettes like "The Chosen One" and raw footage of the rescue sequence. Some extended cuts show more of the battle or alternate angles.

Visual Effects by ILM — The entire Coruscant battle involved thousands of digital ships and explosions—classic prequel-era over-the-top spectacle that took months to render.
