Duel On Mustafar Filmed Full-Speed

In Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (2005), Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen practiced their climactic Obi-Wan and Anakin duel so much and for so long that the crew could shoot it at the same blistering speed you see in the finished film. Because of their intense rehearsal, the production did not need to speed up the footage in post. The sequence, known as the Duel on Mustafar, plays out at the actual pace they fought on set.
