THE PHANTOM NEWSPAPER SUPPLEMENTS

EPISODE 1  also generated a record number of souvenir brochures and magazine supplements in the uk newspapers.   The   SUNDAY   TIMES   special  was  probably the best of the bunch but here are a few more that may have escaped fan attention.




The  MIRROR  specials  re-used  shots  from  the  VANITY  FAIR   special  but also had some pics not seen in VF.

  1. I had that Mirror pt 2 section (in fact, I probably still have it). It features a gorgeously staged Obi-Wan Kenobi v. Darth Maul fight on the Tatooine sands photographed by Annie Liebovitz which did not happen in the film. This image in fact:

    The image had so much promise, a real shame it was just a publicity piece.

    I'm not a detractor of Episode One, I should add. It has its flaws and is not a patch on the original trilogy, but it's a fun film.

  2. agreed ,the prequels still get a lot of knocks but there is a lot of good stuff in them.


    thanks for the link ,that image would have been more awkward to scan.
