Panel Overview

Rick McCallum presented one of Celebration II’s major Attack of the Clones preview events. The session focused on Episode II, digital filmmaking and digital projection, using a Texas Instruments digital projector as part of the presentation. The panel included an extended eight-minute montage from Attack of the Clones, played with John Williams’ music and little or no dialogue. McCallum also showed an effects reel with behind-the-scenes material and additional new footage, including material centered on Jango Fett. The largest crowd reaction came from footage of Yoda fighting Count Dooku. Attendee accounts describe the room erupting when Yoda ignited his lightsaber and entered the duel. The Yoda material became one of the defining moments of Celebration II.
