Rebel Pilot and 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker
With 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker, we face adventure ahead in Episode I - and the discovery of a story's origins. The family home, high-performance spacecraft, and exotic city streets all return to the screen to build a new journey in the first episode of the new Star Wars movie trilogy.

The first phase of production on Episode I has wrapped at Leavesden Studios, and the action now returns to America, with work on editing and post-production visual effects shifting into high gear.

^ A fighter pilot prepares for launch as a familiar R2 unit monitors ship systems from the droid socket.

^ The all-important family dinner table. Anakin Skywalker and his mother await the hand of destiny in a small, quiet corner of the Star Wars galaxy.
