During the production of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999), Ray Park’s professional martial arts background made his lightsaber choreography noticeably faster and more intense than anything previously seen in the franchise, with Ewan McGregor able to keep pace. The stunt coordinator eventually suggested the actors scale the speed back so the final scenes would better suit the film’s visual style.
Still love this tie-in commercial for The Phantom Menace from 1999 where Colonel Sanders, a Pizza Hut delivery woman, and a talking chihuahua are confronted by Battle Droids on Naboo
