'ATTACK' AT 20: WET WEATHER WARFARE!

An unseen action moment from the 'Rumble in the Rain' fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi (here played by stuntman Nash Edgerton) and Jango Fett on Kamino.

Instructed by the Jedi Council to bring Jango Fett to Coruscant for further questioning about the mystery of the Clone Army on Kamino, Obi-Wan's efforts to acquire the Bounty Hunter prove difficult as the pair face off in a watery conflict, and a test of physical skillsets begins. Ultimately. Fett and his son escape in their vehicle Slave 1, but not before Obi-Wan has attached a homing device to its hull.

The chase continues...


Scenes from the film and unused action moves filmed on the Fox Australia Studios in 2000.

Preparing for combat at FOX Studios, Australia in 2000.

Australian stuntman Scott McLean would play Jango Fett in many action scenes for the film. 




Ewan McGregor has fun with the Jango Fett stunt double.

“Comparing Bounty Hunters with Jedi is like comparing a tiger with a shark.”

That (the fight between Obi-Wan and Jango) was fantastic, because Boba Fett is so legendary - the look, the helmet - and there I was fighting Jango Fett, his father, which is full on. It was brilliant. When I ran down something, I wasn’t running down a blue plank, there was more of a set there-and the spaceship was parked up and stuff. But then there’s still an awful lot left to the imagination.”

BEHIND THE SCENES: JUST RESTING MY EYES!


In between action rehearsals for EPISODE III at the FOX STUDIOS, Australia in 2003, Ewan McGregor enjoys some forty winks time whilst his trusty stunt double Nash Edgerton goes through some upcoming moves with Nick Gillard, for Obi-Wan's Boga-riding chase against General Grievous.

BEHIND THE SCENES: JUST HANGIN'!


Filming what would eventually be a deleted EPISODE III scene set high atop the Invisible Hand's main hangar, the stunt doubles for Anakin (Ben Cooke, later double for James Bond's Daniel Craig), Palpatine and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Nash Edgerton, brother of Joel) hang on to a support as the cameras get ready to roll...

BEHIND THE SCENES: AQUATIC KENOBIS!


Stuntman/actor Nash Edgeton (brother to Uncle Owen's Joel) and Ewan McGregor go through an upcoming underwater sequence within the tank of FOX STUDIOS, Australia in 2003. The scene, part of an early chase/action sequence aboard the Invisible Hand, would ultimately be cut from the film for time and pace reasons, but would make the eventual 2005 DVD release.
