“We weren’t quite sure, in the beginning, what direction George wanted to go in for that scene,” Bocquet recalled, “whether he wanted this to be a seedy bar, or a glitzy nightclub. We knew he wanted it to be much bigger and more high-tech than the cantina in the first movie, so our concepts reflected that, with big raised platforms, walkways, and balconies.”

[…] The final set measured seventy feet in diameter and featured high-tech droid drink dispensers, holographic gaming tables, and gaming machines furnished by Peter Walpole. “The gaming machines were actually made out of two flotation devices off a seaplane, which we got from an aircraft dealer in Sydney.” The completed set was resplendent with neon signs, flashing lights, tubes filled with glowing, gelantinous liquids, and backlit panels illuminated through custom-built strips of forty-watt, golf-ball-sized bulbs. Seven thousand bulbs were ultimately used on the set to create the appropriate lighting.

The club scene was shot July 17, 2000. Makeup calls that began at 2 A.M. for the approximately two hundred nightclub patrons. The extras had been fitted for their costumes weeks before, but final adjustments were made the day before the shoot, a logistical nightmare due to the sheer numbers involved. Patrons included not only Lucas’s daughters, Katie and Amanda, but also Ahmed Best, and Anthony Daniels.
