The Wookiee World in Episode III
Source: Official Site
Tuesday, August 10, 2004
The new official " Star Wars" Homing Beacon newsletter talks about the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Here are clips from the newsletter:
Finally, the Wookiee homeworld will be given the movie treatment in Episode III. " It' s a tropical, but cool planet," describes Concept Design Supervisor Ryan Church. " The only real directive we got from George is that they live in giant trees."
The end result will be a single city on Kashyyyk that straddles several massive trees. Though other published sources have explored the thickest areas of jungle canopy, Episode III' s location is on the shore of a tree-lined lagoon, offering greater visual dynamics and story potential.
In Episode III, Kashyyyk will be at war, and as such, the Art Department needed to develop Wookiee instruments of warfare. " We wanted it to look distinct from what the rest of the cultures in the Star Wars universe use," says Church. " Feng Zhu did a lot of these technical illustrations, and came up with a very unique aesthetic. I wanted to come up with a type of vehicle that implied that only a Wookiee could handle it. Like they took some kind of technology that' s out there, and they commandeered it and modified it for their own use."
" Revenge of the Sith" is scheduled for a May 19, 2005 release.

Ahhh the wookies. Wish i had a wookie friend.... My expectations are quite high for this film. Im most looking forward to the beautifully choreographed lightsaber duels that seemed to be lacking in Ep 2. Who wouldn' t want to see Vadar fight Obi ( again ) or the fall of the council? Lets just hope its done tastefully.
