10 Star Wars Secrets Everyone Knows But You
2. All Of Attack Of The Clones Was Re-Dubbed
For years, the vast majority of Star Wars fans have often lumped George Lucas' seemingly soulless Attack of the Clones near the bottom of many a rankings list when it comes to the Skywalker Saga.
Now sure, there are some admitted highlights in the form of some particularly compelling lightsaber duels, battleground skirmishes, and staggering CGI. But the entire endeavour often feels weighed down by dialogue that feels entirely unnatural and disconnected from the living beings actually delivering the words.
Well, as recently revealed by Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor, the fact the entire film was said to have been re-dubbed likely didn't help Episode II when it came to its routinely clunky and lifeless verbal exchanges.
As McGregor would note to SlashFilm, the cutting edge cameras used for this groundbreaking Prequel entry were actually rather noisy, with the actor admitting:
"It was so noisy. And when in post-production, they realised at the end that the noise they made was exactly the frequency of the human voice. So we had to ADR every single line of Episode II. None of the original dialogue made it through because of that, because the cameras were like, so new."
So, it turns out Hayden Christensen was forced to complain about sand both on location and within a recording booth later down the road... poor soul.
