Something has been bugging me about this guy. He's the guy who jumped onto the platform during the battle of Geonosis to try and take out Dooku and was quickly despatched by Jango. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm certain that when I saw the cinema version of AOTC, Coleman Trebor was a human character yet in the DVD he's an exotic looking alien. Is this the result of some tinkering by ILM during the processing of the DVD or had my memory faded a bit since seeing the cinematic version?

I didn't notice anything of that nature and I don't think there are many ways to go back and see the cinimatic version, so I guess you're stuck. Maybe you can find some one else who noticed it. And if it is true, why would GL do that? What's the point?

errr, in my version he never was human.

perhaps you mistook yourself with the looks of Rob Coleman, the animation director?

The name 'Coleman Trebor' had been accidentally switched with a human character named 'Sarr Labooda' or something like that.

But the Vurk, or dinosaur-like, Jedi Master known as Coleman Trebor was always dinosaur-like.

He was always like that. I remember and he was on the jedi council like that to.

Indeedy.

Indeedy, I like that

It's mine!

He was a council member? You've got to be kidding me.

Nope, he was on the Council.

Yeah it seems they give away council positions to anybody these days!

That poser was on the council?

Sheesh, standards are slipping.

what do you people have agaisnt Coleman

Everyone is ticked that a Council member would be gunned down so easily. They have been for 3 years...

Jedi aren't infallible, they are arrogant and fight too casual ... it got the better of him

I'm still not convinced, The Coleman Trebor that tried to take out Dooku and was shot by Jango at the battle of Geonosis was definitely a human character in the cinema version. It was 1.45 pm when I saw it and I was sober.

He was never human; he's always been a CGI Vurk.

yup, never.. repeat NEVER human

I think you have trouble remembering when you were sober

Otherwise, we'd see some random documentary about the transition.

But you see the reason to change this was actually really interesting. So with this we could explore the limits, so... how far ILM and Lucasfilm could take this and see where we would end up.
The idea to change him into this really weird but funny, but still really weird alien-jedi just for the heck of it, was just for fun but it would show us how far technology would stand in case we needed to use this for the next star wars movie which will be out in 2005 of course.
But so you see, it was a really interesting experience for us and ... ... I have no idea what you just asked me.

I thought it was cool to blow our money on it, I had lots of fun! What'd we do again?

Captain REX, Sar Labooda was the Jedi with the green lightsaber that jumped in front of those two droids, but you're right, during production her name was given to Coleman Trebor.

And Coleman Trebor was on the Council because he was replacing Yarael Poof.

silly jedi, always getting killed off & such

But what is the name of the dinosaur species that Coleman Trebor looks like? That's what bugs me!

I already knew.

He's a Vurk.

...I knew that.

If he was a master and in the council, that was quite a sucky attempt... I think that padawan on the bridge in episode 3 would have done better job! I thought, you can't take a Jedi by supprise....

in Ep. III they took alot of jedi by surprise

Trebor wasn't THAT pathetic. He was out-done by the perfect soldier--the template of the Clones hand picked by Lord Tyrannus. While going for Dooku, he was blind-sighted by Jango, an experienced Jedi killer. Unlike Trebor, Mace was aware of Jango's location and made a bee-line for him. Not to mention, his jetpack stalled.

What killed Master Trebor:
1. Nobody's perfect
2. Shit happens

That sort of thing would never have happened to Obi Wan.... or Yoda... or even Ani... but they were all exceptional jedi.... many of the Council members were caught off guard and killed instantly during order 66

Those are better ways to look at it.

I have no idea why he was a human cause he was actually computer animated
