I know I shouldn't be surprised but I am that Lucas went with the tried and true stand-in solution rather than trying to have a CGI Christopher Lee for those shots.

It was likely still on the table. They were already doing face replacements for Lee's stunt double during the fights, so it may have been shot with the idea of not using the stand-in's face if it didn't hold up. Though it wouldn't be the first time the prequels would just use a really obvious stand-in for a famous actor.

Stand-ins are the actors who stand on the actor's marks between shots (and sometimes takes) so the director and DP can dial in lighting, focus, camera moves, blocking, and framing. They don't appear on camera and make a little bit more than a SAG background actor (extra) Photo doubles are actors who appear on camera as principal actors (sometimes for just specific body parts or for size mismatches like hobbits in LotR) when the actor can't do a shot due to scheduling or whatever. (Sometimes the principal is just lazy and doesn't want to do wide or reverse shots lol) PDs make stand in rate. Stunt doubles are photo doubles that do stunts the principal can't/shouldn't/doesn't want to do. They get stunt scale (a little less than principal rate) and up. If anyone was curious

Jackie Chan, in his book, and talking about Rush Hour, was amazed at how wasteful Hollywood movies are because they hired a stand-in for him, and he was like "I'm right here!"

Having watched the end credits for Police Stories 1, 2 & 3 I wouldn’t trust that man on any kind of safety or wastefulness discussion “Michelle Yeoh’s character falls from a moving bus to a car in this scene? Pull that car up here!”

Apparently you could do something similar on the N64 version by plugging in two controllers and using one stick for each engine.

Considering how the podracing game is on PC now, you could probably set it up to have some kind of similar controls. A lot of fancy joystick peripherals come with a throttle lever for your other hand. Would probably take a lot of finagling though.

If you had a dualshock for the playstation version, you used each joystick for an engine. I loved that control scheme

My local bar/arcade got one of those sit-down Episode I Racer machines a few years ago (they didn't retrofit it with a nice new flatscreen, though.) Like every other game in the place it was set to 1 credit per quarter, but it still had a big yellow "1 PLAY/$1" sticker on the cabinet from when it was a new release, which tricked drunk dudes without fail. They'd pump a fistful of quarters into the thing, play a game or two and move on to another machine. Thing probably paid for itself in a week.Speleothing posted:I used to love podracing in the cockpit view, but never tried it like this.

Unironically the best thing out of Episode I. Lucky enough to find a few in the wild as a kid and it plays really well. Cartoon Man posted:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Racer_Arcade Also a classic. Seriously the framerate is like loving butter. How tf did they do that?

I haven’t played it in like 15 years, but I can still instinctively remember half the spots to lead the targets to get them as soon as they appeared on the screen. That game loving owned and I wish some place close to me had it to play again or it was online somewhere decently.

Star Wars Trilogy plays surprisingly well with a light gun (even the lightsaber duel parts, with a bit of practice), or, failing that, a mouse (which is more or less what a lightgun is on modern systems).

Huh, there I was thinking I played Episode 1 Racer on Playstation 2 all those years ago. I must have conflated the various versions and Starfighter somehow.
