George Lucas’s camei, whom you missed in “Star Wars: Phantom Menace”

George Lucas forever changed the movie with Star Wars. He not just changed the environment in terms of franchising, but also pushed the boundaries of independent cinema and made a revolution from visual effects to digital editing, sound design and shooting. But you already know it, right?

What you may not know is that Lucas often performed in the films “Star Wars” and TV shows throughout his career. For example, today’s director One day he entered his friend Stephen Spielberg Peter Penn movie “Kruk”, In particular, in the stage where he leaves Carrie Fisher. (!) Lucas also played a small role in “Beverly Hills Cop III” (division of the screen with Christina Venuti) and even appeared in the “OC” episode once.

Of course, the “Star Wars” fans know that Lucas has similarly jumped into “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge Sitha”. In this case, he played the Blue Baron Papanoid, the chairman of the Moon Pantor, during the opera scene before we find out about The epic tragedy of dart plague is wise.

It turns out, however, that Lucas made another comer in the prickly trilogy-shying role a few years before his screen turned like a papanoid. Indeed, Lucas was immortalized in the flashing and you miss an Easter egg in an “episode of the I-Fantom Threat”, which has long been a source of speculation, but has now been confirmed over the last last.

Speaking with former industrial light and magic (ILM) matte artist Carolyn “Jet” green For his newsletterReporter Clayton Sandel found that Lucas was actually in a “phantom threat” … Just not quite personally. It was also not his idea of ​​being in the movie. Instead, the Jet pulled the image of the creator of the Star Wars against the background of the royal palace shot on Nab.

Lucas’ coma comes a little under the two -hour “phantom threat” mark during the climate battle of the film on Nab. As you can see from the above image, this specific shot shows a squad of NBU soldiers passing through a very long hallway in the royal palace. If you look at the background, you can see the arch over the huge window, as well as the slight oval relief that has some face. It turns out that the face does not belong to anyone else, like George Lucas himself.

“I decided to take a picture of George and I put it on this board,” Green explained. “I thought,” Well, it will be cool. As long as you shrink, his face is just blurred. ” After Green showed the picture to the ruler, Lucas shared his thoughts.

“George is really quiet,” Green continued. “He looks at it, and he goes, ‘Oh, naughty, naughty.” I said,’ Yes, but that! And here is silence.

Of course, this was not the first camera of Lucas made in his films; He also gave his voice over the cry Its pre-“star wars” classic “American graffiti”. However, it is fun to know that there are two George Lucas in the world of “Star Wars”.
