It had to be big for frames with scale. 1462 01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:23,600 Turning the Empire gained mass problems that we did not anticipate. 1463 01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:28,520 The film was meant to be in every way greater than the previous section. 1464 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,520 The budget was a little bigger. 1465 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:34,720 Each special effect spec repeats: 1466 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,520 "Don't film anything in the snow, because you can't keep the color. " 1467 01:33:37,620 --> 01:33:41,600 We ignored their warnings and we filmed snow scenes. 1468 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,520 It was a very time-consuming process. 1469 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,000 Just like in Tunisia ... 1470 01:33:47,100 --> 01:33:56,720 we were hitting the Norwegian Glacier and we had the worst winter in 50 years. 1471 01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:59,320 20 degrees below zero, 6 meters of snow. 1472 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,320 The location was terrible. 1473 01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:08,000 We were sitting on a frozen glacier the only transport was tracked vehicles. 1474 01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:16,920 Every 2 meters we had pegs hammered into the snow, because we often had �nie�yce. 1475 01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:19,320 You could have lost your way. And so it was. 1476 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:23,400 It's good that I was driving in the azik, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back. 1477 01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,120 We went to Norway ... 1478 01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:34,200 and we literally couldn't leave the hotel because the exit collapsed on the snow wall ... 1479 01:34:34,300 --> 01:34:36,520 which arose during the night. 1480 01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:43,600 So we set up the camera at the back door of the hotel. 1481 01:34:43,700 --> 01:34:49,800 The whole crew sat warm, and Mark must have been wading in the snow ... 1482 01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:52,720 and ran away from the snow monster. 1483 01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:58,120 The crew didn't even leave the hotel. He's dreaming of a horse, and we were fine. 1484 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:05,600 We made all the shots because we knew where the special effects would come in. 1485 01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:10,720 We knew where it was going to be the robot's leg descends and so on. 1486 01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:19,420 Animating models on snow backgrounds it was really hard. 1487 01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:31,400 By default, most of the scenes had backgrounds added later from bluescreen. 1488 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:37,520 But there was a kid in ILM who who painted amazing pictures. 1489 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:47,520 Most of what you see behind the eyes and tauntaunami are backgrounds painted by Mike. 1490 01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:50,400 I like these vehicles. They came out really great. 1491 01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:56,800 I think that the composition was much better not in the first movie. 1492 01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,520 It looks a little more believable. 1493 01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:10,800 The crew wanted to reward the fans 3 years of waiting for the next movie. 1494 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,000 Echo 57 station, we are on our way. 1495 01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:24,400 All right, boys.

Time is chasing us and I was guilty of the delay. 1552 01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:50,320 To be able to animate a character, the plan was built 2 meters above the ground. 1553 01:40:51,520 --> 01:41:02,000 We later made holes in places in which he was supposed to stand or move. 1554 01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:04,000 We must have known this before. 1555 01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:10,400 There were trees and stones at the top, caves and so on. 1556 01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:16,600 Those above did not hear those below and Mark didn't hear Frank Oz. 1557 01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:19,120 How can you shoot a scene when the actors don't hear each other? 1558 01:41:19,220 --> 01:41:22,320 Mark deserves praise for this. 1559 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:26,800 I remember something down there she called me, "Norman!" 1560 01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:33,000 Until I blushed.
