CURIOSITIES
During the process of writing "The Wars" (1977), George Lucas stated that he had noticed the complexity of the story was too large to occupy a single film. What was the first film in the series went on to become the fourth episode of the saga. As you begin to write "The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas considered bring the film in completely different directions. Thus Darth Vader became the father of the hero Luke Skywalker, and developed a story of support that was shown as Vader Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his fall into the dark side of the Force. With this new history of support, Lucas end by developing the so-called second trilogy. But at the end of the third installment "The Return of the Jedi", Lucas left the idea. After losing part of his fortune in their divorce in 1987, George Lucas lost his interest in returning to "Star Wars", but since I had spent most of their history of support, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe prequels never entirely left him. In the early 1990's, Lucas watched as their franchise renewed its popularity after the publication of a trilogy of novels written by Timothy Zahn, who continued the facts narrated in "The Return of the Jedi" and thanks to the comics published by Dark Horse. This made him see that interest in the second trilogy was rising, and with the advent of computer-generated special effects, George Lucas decided to return to the saga. Began reviewing the history Anakin Skywalker deciding what would be their new hero instead of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the new trilogy would be a tragedy considering the fall of Anakin to the dark side. In this way the six films would become a series that show ed Anakin's life from childhood until his death. Originally the title of Episode I was going to be "The Beginning", but went on to be entitled "The Phantom Menace" referring to Palpatine, the future Emperor, hiding her true identity Sith Lord behind the facade of a senator allegedly working for the company. Stunt coordinator Nick Gillard was hired to create new Jedi fighting styles for the new trilogy, and this merged the styles of fighting known as kendo and kenjutsu with other techniques such as movements found in tennis, or deforestation. Lucas decided to make the Jedi Order in negotiations, which eventually would be forced to become soldiers after a series of manipulations. The costumes of the inhabitants of the galaxy would be prepared to show a time when diversity was tolerated. Shooting began in June 1997 and ended in September of that year. Held in the Tunisian desert for the scenes of Tatooi ne, and the Palace Caserta in Italy for the scenes of Naboo. The style of creating miniatures for special effects was developed incorporating computer-generated images. The resulting mixture of old and newer ones. Considering the problems he created R2-D2 in the original trilogy, Lucas made two separate companies cooperate to create the new model. Nine models were created R2-D2, one of which was to again be operated by Kenny Baker. A British study R2 created a tire that could change to have two three-legged, and was used in Tunisia. Pod Race was inspired by one of the favorite scenes from George Lucas in film history, the chariot race from the movie "Ben-Hur." The whole race was created by computer-generated effects, except for Jake Lloyd planes using his sheath. John Williams became responsible for the soundtrack again and this time decided to spend more electronic instruments like synthesizers to increase the sound and create an atmosphere of mysticism and magic that an orchestra could not get by itself. By creating the music of Anakin, Williams tried to show the innocence of his youth as well as a premonition that end up becoming Darth Vader. The film was nominated for Oscars for Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects and Best Sound. But he lost the three candidates against "Matrix" (1999).
PERSONAL NOTE
Sixteen years after the original trilogy, was so full of this new controversy. Señalo esos dieciséis años, porque son mi argumento a favor de la nueva trilogía. Con esto no quiero obviar que esta no estuviera carente de fallos, pero considero que parte de mi generación se ha podido ver defraudada por la nueva trilogía, porque precisamente dieciséis años después ya no éramos los niños que vimos la saga original. Es inevitable que la percepción cambie, y que no percibamos las cosas de igual forma. De hecho recuerdo cuando vi “La Amenaza Fantasma por primera vez en el cine. La disfrute mucho a pesar de percibir determinados en continuidad, pero recuerdo a un niño que veía la película sentado delante de mi con la misma cara de asombro que yo vi la primera age trilogy. I think therein lies the problem. The boy laughed at Jar Jar Binks as that to me seemed rather irritating, and other things perceived differently. In particular there is a character that seemed prepared in a masterly manner in this second trilogy. This is none other than Palpatine, because if there is anything that shows a perfect trilogy is the weakness of a politician than a blink of an eye can develop into a dictatorship. Palpatine is presented as a villain expert in manipulating events in his favor, but especially with an unusual under a villain, that of patience. No hurry, knows how to wait for the right time and allows the time axis d certain events give the required results. Added to this, Ian McDiarmid makes a dramatic interpretation of this development is endowed with great credibility. In general I must admit, that despite some inevitable failures, I really enjoyed this movie, although no longer a child.
