View Poll Archives CJ: Main Hall Presentations Posted By Curto on July 23, 2008 The main hall that was set up during Celebration Japan included presentations & interviews with several of the actors from the Star Wars saga. While I didn't attend all of them, here's a quick rundown of what I did see.... First up, the host/translator was a hoot! Decked out all in white, I don't know if he was ever actually introduced, but he was extremely entertaining, translating everything for the primarily Japanese audience from what the English-speaking guests had to say. Some things didn't translate very well, such as when the subject of why Ray Park's lightsaber was so big, but the audience was hanging on his every word. Bounty in Japan – The Fetts Jeremy Bulloch, Daniel Logan, Temuera Morrison Each actor talked about how they got their respective roles, and what it was like to make their respective movies. Tem danced onstage and sang some kind of tribal song. There was a mock battle between Tem and Jeremy. The crowd loved it! Skywalking with Mark Hamill Mark Hamill came onstage to a packed room, talked about how he got the role of Luke Skywalker, although he thought he wanted to play Han Solo. He couldn't believe that Luke was the main character. If you listened to Jimmy Mac's interview on The Force-Cast, the stories that Mark told there were pretty close to what he said on the stage. Star Wars: The Clone Wars Footage from the upcoming movie was shown: Anakin Skywalker & Obi-Wan Kenobi & clones battling droids, General Grievous, flying ships, etc. Clone Troopers now have more personality than before...each has a unique look (Rex has close-cropped light hair, others have double-mohawks, scars, etc.). Each episode now has lots of energy, presenting Star Wars in a new way than ever seen before. Something that didn't get translated to English was the appearance of a model dressed as Ahsoka on the stage, which was great, but who were the four other girls with her? That will have to remain a mystery... The Lair of Takeuchi – Exclusive Clone Wars footage Dave Filoni wanted to work with Japanese studio because he was impressed with the quality of the animation, and Takeuchi wanted to work with George Lucas. The three men are now teaching each other in different styles, and creating a new aspect of the Star Wars universe. Matthew Wood was working at Lucasfilm and sent in an anonymous tape to get the role of the voice of Grievous. New footage was shown...10 minutes of an episode centered on Grievous, although Grievous himself wasn't in the clip. Kit Fisto, Nahdarr Vebb, Clone Troopers entering a house of horrors, with statues of the Pre-Cyborg Grievous and an armory of sorts showing the limbs of the cyborg general. Darth Maul, Sith Lord: Ray Park Ray Park came out to a thunderous applause! He was definitely one of the more popular stars on Sunday! Ray explained his martial arts background, the process of getting into the Sith Lord's costume and makeup, and how he had an idea in mind for the lightsaber, so that he could twirl the handle around his waist, but it was too short, and that particular move wouldn't work. So he told George Lucas, who came up with the solution: just double the blade by flipping it around! While the interviews were great, and of course the footage from The Clone Wars was awesome, the translations were sometimes jarring and interrupted the natural flow of the interview. While it was of course important to have the translations, you needed to be patient in order to hear all the details. email this story discuss in forums Select Date 2008, October 2008, September 2008, August 2008, July 2008, June 2008, May 2008, April 2008, March 2008, February 2008, January 2007, December 2007, November 2007, October 2007, September 2007, August 2007, July 2007, June 2007, May 2007, April 2007, March 2007, February 2007, January 2006, December 2006, November 2006, October 2006, August 2006, July 2006, June 2006, May 2006, April 2006, March 2006, February 2006, January 2005, December 2005, November 2005, October 2005, September 2005, August 2005, July 2005, June 2005, May 2005, April 2005, March 2005, February 2005, January 2004, December 2004, November 2004, October 2004, September 2004, August 2004, July 2004, June 2004, May 2004, April 2004, March 2004, February 2004, January 2003, December 2003, November 2003, October 2003, September 2003, August 2003, July 2003, June 2003, May 2003, April 2003, March 2003, February 2003, January 2002, December 2002, November 2002, October 2002, September 2002, August 2002, July 2002, June 2002, May 2002, April 2002, March 2002, January 2001, December 2001, October 2001, September 2001, August 2001, July 2001, June 2001, May 2001, April 2001, March 2001, February 2001, January 2000, November 2000, July 2000, April 2000, March 2000, February 2000, January 1999, December 1999, September 1999, August 1999, May 1999, April 1999, March 1999, February 1999, January 1998, December 1998, October Jeremy Bullock At Manitoba ComicCon 2008 Posted By Mike on October 8, 2008: October 11 & 12 in Winnipeg, Canada Boston Super MegaFest Posted By Mike on October 7, 2008: November 23 and 24, 2008 JediCon Sao Paulo Posted By Dustin on October 4, 2008: Coming October 11th...
