Star Wars has ALWAYS saved it's concept art for possible later use. Hell Zeb from Rebels is designed from a SUPER EARLY Chewbacca concept, Mother Talzin from a Darth Maul Concept, the Fifth Brother from a Kylo Ren concept and there's just tons of examples.
How Trisha Bigger never got nominated for her costumes just proved me right there does the Academy Awards are rigged and all the different guilds that go around it!
@@nominbilegt4420 Only one of those many costumes were of Mongolian design, dude. You probably came from that girl's video. She made a lot of exaggerated claims.
Those fans are ungrateful. Alot of people don't appreciate effort. The prequels weren't perfect, but you can appreciate what went into it, how big everything felt, etc.
it's so funny for me to see keira knightly using padme's clothes... like, that dress is padme's, but keira is the one testing it it reminds me of when she said in graham norton that she did some wide shots that were supposed to be natalie's bc portman wanted to go home earlier
As Decoy she was always the Queen, so she is the one wearing the Queen dresses. But yea, I also found it funny when she said that on the Vraham show XD
The Year this came out end episode 1 blew everyone away with outstanding costume design, The Matrix movie won Best Costume Design Awards... Biggest scam in the history of movie making. There's no way in hell any other movie should have gotten an award for the amount of skill and Perfection that went into the costumes for Star Wars. Absolutely nothing outshined it.
How the hell did the Matrix win Best Costume Design? It was all black trenchcoats, dress suits, leather and sunglasses. The Prequels have some of, if not the best costume design I've seen in film.
Jiwon I think it's because some of the costume designs in Phantom Menace went way overboard, to the point of ridiculousness, but I have to admit, The Matrix is an odd choice for best costume design.
@@half-lifescientist1991 Also the Hollywood industry is inherently biased against Fantasy, of which the Prequels are theyre sci fi fantasy. Matrix is a much easier to understand choice so it won, but to be fair Matrix costume design was excellent, there's a mini docu about it that's very enlightening. I don't understand why people need to bash something to make something else seem better. Seems only mean spirited to me.
I had no idea The Matrix won best costume design. That’s fucked. One of the last things I think about when I think of the Matrix is the costume design. Edit: just looked it up on Wikipedia and I’m not sure which award OP was talking about but if they were talking about the Oscars this is completely untrue. The Matrix wasn’t even nominated for a Best Costume Design award and the winner that year was Topsy-Turvy. Star Wars Episode I wasn’t nominated either though which is so strange to me.
I use to think all of that, they dont need to prove anything, not getting mugged, but once you got to spend time with a millionar. they are just stingy.
Only JUST now realized after having seen this years ago why as a teen I thought Natalie Portman looks so strange in this video trying on that dress, because it's Kira Knightly testing Natalie's dress for the end of the film! How odd.
Lucas is just walking around everywhere, from costume design to special effects department, and approves. Everyone has to do what George says. UNLIMITED POOOOOOWEEEER!!
This Man is for the Birds I thought (admittedly prolly cause it’s Disney) that it was raw considering other behind the scenes stuff Disney usually puts out, they actually acknowledged Hamill’s problems with the script and how Johnson and him interacted at times, it was interesting
The bonus features for rogue one bothered me thd most. Everyone talking about how great everyone was in their roles and no mention of earlier cuts, deleted scenes or previous storylines.
yes, they were initially on the star wars website in the late 90s and early 2000s. They would start showing up something like 1.5 years before the release of each film. They were later incorporated onto the bonus section of each of the prequel dvds.
I remember watching the move in theater and thought holy crap that sucked but after re watching it back in 2019 its not a bad film unlike the Disney dog shit
Maybe because she was Natalie's double they had her try it on first to get an idea of what it would look like. Who knows, maybe Natalie was busy shooting on the day and couldn't try on the dress.
keira was in the movie she played padme's handmaiden sabe. In the movie sabe would pose as the queen at times. Don't you remember the gungon and war scenes towards the end.
+hauntedlover Yea.. but that's the dress that padme wears at the very end right before the credits roll.. Natalie Portman is the one that wears this dress at the end. not keira knightly.
+Wwe Superfan Keira's said how the scenes changed during film so that every now and then she would stand-in as the decoy at short notice, so it's likely that the scripts were changing and that at one point Sabe was going to be seen in more of the Queen's wardrobe.
I think you’re projecting a lot of stuff onto people that isn’t there. Trish looked very at home with him in those clips of them sitting down and looking at the sketches.
Jar Jar certainly did not hurt the prequels. The one where he had the most screen time was the one that sold the most tickets. The prequels made billions of dollars at the box office, Jar Jar is in Attack of the Clones less than 7 minutes, and he's in Revenge of the Sith for one or two shots. Let's stop beating a dead horse and doing the cliche thing of complaining about Jar Jar because you saw other people do it.
@@JohnWesleyDowney That line of logic is really backward. Episode I didn't make the most money *because* of Jar Jar. The hype in 1999 for Star Wars was insane. You make it sound like Episodes II and III made less because of Jar Jar's reduced screen time which is nonsense.
@@ethandraper4645 That's really a rather clumsy effort to put words in my mouth. But I see what you did there. I didn't say episode 1 made the MOST money BECAUSE of Jar Jar. I merely pointed out his most prominent prequel appearance didn't diminish the box office performance because it was the highest of the prequels. I would tend to credit Liam Neeson, the Darth Maul character, the amped up light saber battles and and the pod race for the success of the film, not Jar Jar.
With the scenes where most of the costumes Natalie wore had her standing still or sitting, I am surprised George didn't have them made through a computer instead.
Another classic example of George not having a clue what he’s talking about. He will make changes, because if he doesn’t it looks like he isn’t in control. If he doesn’t make the changes he won’t be able to say I designed those costumes... The guy is a bit of a charlatan really.
odeerg Exactly what I’ve been thinking my entire. It’s so sad to see Disney own Star Wars now and a lot of people like it without George and the original staff and creative minds. Shows you how incompetent and stupid the masses are, despite they all think they’re right, smart and good, but those people are always the exact opposite
Its not about just looking amazing . It has to maintain a certain consistency . The director is the ultimate guy approving the direction of how costumes are going . He/she is not supposed to give instructions on how things are to be made
But that's Star Wars. Vader is basically a space samurai inside an armor, Jawas are speaking an earth language but super acellerated and the list goes on... The costume design in Ep. I was great, suits perfectly Naboo style. Good idea mixing many styles instead of doing a carbon copy of one
0:23 it's funny to see how original designs come back later, like duchess satine's concept
Star Wars has ALWAYS saved it's concept art for possible later use. Hell Zeb from Rebels is designed from a SUPER EARLY Chewbacca concept, Mother Talzin from a Darth Maul Concept, the Fifth Brother from a Kylo Ren concept and there's just tons of examples.
Theres also a concept art for Padme that looks like Riyo Chuchi's headpiece
This was my favorite part of the movie the outfits for Padme are so beautiful.
Padme didn't have that many costumes in the first film. Her decoy Keira Knightly did.
How Trisha Bigger never got nominated for her costumes just proved me right there does the Academy Awards are rigged and all the different guilds that go around it!
Darth Qui-Gon 1000%!!
I AGREE! I'm still so pissed. Like WHY? Poor Trisha.
How can they???? They litteraly stole mongolian traditional clothes????
@@nominbilegt4420 Because they're still well designed and well made costumes
@@nominbilegt4420 Only one of those many costumes were of Mongolian design, dude.

Kinda feel like George put more thought into one dress than Disney put into the arc of the sequel trilogy
Dook Cook True, but remember majority of the fans wanted that guy gone, the one that actually cared for story.

@@nine7937 But in this video Keira's wearing a dress that it was only worn by Natalie during the very last scene of the movie.
3:50 oh shit that's Keira knightly isn't it?
Yeah lol she was in the movie as Padmé's decoy
Yes her character died in the beginning of Aotc
That was Cordé who was killed, not Sabé.

I feel like I’m watching Collider’s deepfake George
Hahaha I was thinking exactly the same! The guy from Collider is amazing xD
I love how George Lucas is this super rich guy and he dressed like a homeless dude
Most rich people wear like that, they don't have to prove or show off anything to anyone.
Bill Gates dresses like your typical grandfather
When a super rich guy dresses like a super rich guy, they are likely to get robbed and or killed for their money.
That's how you stay rich.
I use to think all of that, they dont need to prove anything, not getting mugged, but once you got to spend time with a millionar. they are just stingy.
that dress is absolutely, beautiful
That video of her going through the rack and talking about each costume and what went into making it.. I wonder if that's available in full somewhere.
Oh, if only the lady at 1:35 knew how popular the costumes would be with costumers.
Just one of the many reasons I adore the Prequels!
Only JUST now realized after having seen this years ago why as a teen I thought Natalie Portman looks so strange in this video trying on that dress, because it's Kira Knightly testing Natalie's dress for the end of the film! How odd.
Props to these people. I couldn't imagine doing all this creative and hard work for such a huge project.
Looks like they finally got to use this idea 0:24 for Satine in the Clone Wars
All made in CGI,they said.Costume working in this Saga is superior than any other episode
thanks for that new video!good job!
Lucas is just walking around everywhere, from costume design to special effects department, and approves. Everyone has to do what George says.
UNLIMITED POOOOOOWEEEER!!
Yeah that’s what a director is
I think that Star Wars Episode 1 SHOULD have been nominated for best costume design & WON it. The fashions are incredible. 💙🙏👍
Truly a crime the fashion designers didn't get the recognition they deserved. Padme alone had so. many. costume changes. 😵💫
I love them
Now that's podracing!
No sir, that's a dress.
And "THIS IS".
It feels weird watching this video, since most of it was filmed on the day I was born.

@I am Supernaut correct

Good to see Keira Knightly. However why did they have her try on a costume that her character, Sabe, doesn't wear?
Were these webisodes also shown on the net in the 90's, when they were produced.
I believe they were initially of the Star Wars website back in the day.

It wasnt all just for two days lady
It was for the rest of cinema history:)
I know that but she was only in two scenes and she didn't wear this dress, natalie did so I found that a bit confusing.
Natalie must have been busy or something so they used her im guessing.
They did all that and did not see the electrical cord that lit the dress up in the actual film
is that Keira Knightley? :O
Sure is.
Why are they doing the fitting with Keira Knightley here? Natalie Portman was wearing this dress in the movie.
Maybe because she was Natalie's double they had her try it on first to get an idea of what it would look like. Who knows, maybe Natalie was busy shooting on the day and couldn't try on the dress.
keira was in the movie she played padme's handmaiden sabe. In the movie sabe would pose as the queen at times. Don't you remember the gungon and war scenes towards the end.
