Summary
It was more Justin Dix's Ferris Bueller style hustling rather than his award winning Star Wars fan film credits that led to him being on set of Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith as a Droid Unit Technician.
Justin recalls so many great tales from on his on set experience including impressing George Lucas with his C-3PO modifications, deleted scenes and the frustration of having the practical R2-D2 constantly bumped by the CGI version. Plus a heartwarming Anthony Daniels behind the scenes tale that might just leave a tear in your eye.

| 0:08.7 | classic clip which is available in full at patreon.com forward slash steel wars. |
| 0:19.9 | Well, the thing that could have gone horribly wrong, I think, with Empire, was possibly its crowning achievement, and that's Yoda. |
| 0:27.0 | I mean, he feels real. |
| 0:28.9 | He, I mean, he obviously looks like a foam puppet, but he doesn't. |
| 0:32.3 | He's so rudimentary in his sculpt. |
| 0:35.0 | There's not really pores sculpted in anything. |
| 0:37.0 | It's actually very, you know, I've seen the original of that thing, and that thing's pretty rudimentary in his sculpt. There's not really pause sculpted in anything. It's actually very, |

| 1:00.1 | And it was, again, treated with an adult sort of respect |
| 1:04.0 | rather than treating it like Nebock. |
| 1:06.7 | And also Mark Hamill's reactions to him. |
| 1:09.3 | Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| 1:09.9 | Obviously that plays enormously in it. |
| 1:11.5 | But it's just, I mean, I remember seeing Yoda and he actually, especially at the end |
| 1:15.9 | when he's saying, you will be scared, you know, you will be. |
| 1:18.1 | He was, he was scary. |
