Joining Griffin and David this week is special guest J.D. Amato to discuss the behind-the-scenes making of this film, including, a featurette entitled: \u201cStar Wars State Of The Art: The Pre-Visualization Of Episode II\u201d (found in the initial DVD release of Attack of the Clones.)\nTogether, they examine the process of pre-visualization, why the CGI technology of its time compared even with today\u2019s still makes this film ambitious, the uncanny valley and reasons why most of the special effects didn\u2019t enhance or contribute to the overall story.\nThough, George tried his best, why did Lucas put himself into a situation where no one could help him or this movie? Why did actors perform to no one in a blue room? Was there ever even a bigger picture or cohesive plan?
