Awesome Elements of "Attack of the Clones"

By tps12 (Thu Jun 09, 2005 at 10:10:58 AM EST) Star Wars, Attack of the Clones, Anakin (all tags)

Element 8

YOU WILL BOW BEFORE SKELETRON

Apologies for the teensy picture. What is the deal with Anakin's replacement hand? C-3PO's hands look better than that! I know they want to show how technology advances between this movie and Empire, but I think they overdid it. I mean, in just a couple years they will be able to give him full-on, meaty artificial limbs, so would it have killed them to throw some flesh on that thing?

And on his wedding day, really.

I don't think I've properly conveyed the Awesomeness of this one. But I am just one man.

Even George Was Unsure by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #1 Thu Jun 09, 2005 at 10:21:08 AM EST

A replacement shot of the hand was one of the elements fudged between the original theatrical release and the DVD (though I understand the new shot may have appeared in some digitally projected versions, as well).

Either way, it sounds like C-3P0 when it moves.

So this is the one from the DVD? Like what did the theatrical hand look?

The hand in the original cut looked the same, but it didn't move...it just kinda hung off his arm like a glove full of marbles. With all the reflections it was pretty hard to discern what it was supposed to be.

I have a VCD of it around here somewhere...it'll post a snapshot if I come across it in my travels through my laboratorium.

Maybe it was a training hand by ShadowNode (4.00 / 2) #4 Thu Jun 09, 2005 at 12:32:38 PM EST

For him to get used to the cyborwhatsits interfacing with his midicloreans.

Luke had a robotic hand. Anakin's hand was just scraps of metal held together by the Force and controlled with his mind.

And it's not unreasonable to think they significantly shortened the training time for robotic appendages over 20 some years.
