THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: STAP REINFORCEMENTS!


The Naboo plains battle between Gungans and Trade Federation intensifies as Battle Droids on STAP vehicles enter the fray in this specially composed ILM photo image- a sequence planned as a storyboard, and likely created as an animatic, that ultimately didn't make cinematic reality for the final cut of EPISODE I. Instead, they would be seen in long shot for one brief moment during the Gungans surrender aftermath.

Early storyboard showing STAPs penetrating the energy shield and attacking the Gungans.
