Sculpting The “Bad Kitty” Model
Each creature, including the nexu that appears in the Petranaki arena on Geonosis, required maquettes to be sculpted. The team had to scale everything down while maintaining a high level of detail due to the nexu’s and most of the other Star Wars species’ huge size. The nexu was given the nickname “Bad Kitty” by the animation team at Industrial Light & Magic during the process, a term that can also be seen on Obi-gunship Wan’s in The Clone Wars TV program.

Padmé At The Droid Factory
Padmé has a highly rich attire, complete with traditional cosmetics and intricate accessories, as do all of her royal Naboo forefathers. She does, however, dress in sleek, utilitarian costumes on missions, such as the one she went on with Anakin to save Obi-Wan. On Geonosis, the two discover a droid factory and are apprehended. However, it appears that the majority of the action was CG, including the winged alien guards who attack Padmé and Anakin. More stunt performers in blue suits appear, and Natalie Portman reacts as though it’s the scariest thing she’s ever seen.
