Article on OS about Utapau and Mustafar miniatures

Finally get some real first looks at two new environments

Those are some cool miniatures.

I hope they fight across the river....

Really great article and photos. The work that goes
into creating these sets is amazing. I guess this should
be required reading for all the naysayers who complain
that miniature and model effects are never used nowadays. 😛

i love miniatures, they always look better than CG

They must fight across the river. They mention floating shards of rock thatflow down the river. That should be pretty intense. I still can’t believe this was not a hyperspace feature. It was alot better than most of the “pay-to-see-junk”.
They also mention that Mustafar is a “double planet”. So that would mean that Anakin and Obi-wan travel from one world to the other during the duel. Wasn’t mentioned in one of the articles?

Yeah, Pabs said something like its not the duel but duels..plural.

And I agree Space

i think that because of min. that the OT SE looked better than the one today.

hopefully it works well. were minis used for ep1 or ep2? i dont remember seeing any

wait, i forgot bout the geonosis arena. oops 😛

they use alot of miniatures

from "World-Building: An Interview with Brian Gernand":
"In reality, the Star Wars prequels have featured more miniature work than the original trilogy -- Episode I alone had more models than the original films combined."
