Obi-Wan, Anakin, And Grievous’s MagnaGuards

When the MagnaGuard appear in the prequel films, they have a sinister demeanor. But… not so much behind the scenes. Grievous’ bodyguards are famed for defeating Jedi, thus Obi-Wan and Anakin find themselves fighting them. In actuality, stunt performers wore tight blue outfits to make the CGI utilized to create the droids easier to work with. Whatever you think of the prequels’ acting, credit to the cast for maintaining their composure in the face of such amusing adversaries.

Spa Night With Emperor Palpatine

Palpatine tempts Anakin to the dark side by telling the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise, a Force master so powerful that he could avert death. Despite the evil side’s alleged immortality, it appears that they have yet to perfect the secret of endless youth. In reality, after revealing himself as a Sith, Palpatine’s physical appearance alters dramatically. Ian McDiarmid is being converted into post-Sith-reveal Palpatine, or Darth Sidious, in this behind-the-scenes photo. Palpatine is dressed in a fluffy white bathrobe, as if he’s anticipating a much-needed facial as he plots the demise of the Jedi.
