![]() In 3D I actually enjoyed the sequence a lot. Visually, I feel like I’m getting a lot of the same, over and over again. But I find the speeder chase at the start of that film to be the weakest action sequence of all six Star Wars films. I absolutely loved Attack of the Clones in 3D. The movies are actually enhanced with the 3D technology which goes beyond it being a simple gimmick. So when Anakin turns to Darth Vader and his eyes glow, they made his eyes set deeper so the glow and the creepy factor was increased. Muren also noted that they did the same thing for Revenge of the Sith. ![]() You cannot tell they did this, it just looks like the film was made to be seen in 3D and shots you wouldn’t expect to look stunning really do. When they used the 3D scan of her and composited it over the initial performance, they were able to construct the shot for 3D. Natalie Portman was filmed in a way that when converted into 3D was not flattering to the insanely beautiful actress. ![]() They literally recreated the actor’s faces digitally to make sure the shots worked. During the Q&A which you can hear on Now, This is Podcasting! Muren goes into great detail about how this was not just a conversion but a labor of love. Filmmaker legend Dennis Muren recently had a film festival held in his honor which culminated in the first American screening of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones 3D. The prequel trilogy 3D wasn’t something that was just a conversion done without love.
