John Ary From Austin Comic Con 2012: Ray Park!!

 

John Ary here with another Q&A from last weekend's Austin Comic Con.  
 
Today Ray Park recalls his time working with George Lucas on Star Wars: Episode 1.  He reveals for the first time ever how the character of Darth Maul was supposed to die before Lucas reworked the scene due to its intense action.
 
Also Park explains how videogames and action figures influence his fight choreography, which different melee weapons they toyed around with before settling on the double blade lightsaber, and he shows off for the crowd when he borrows the bow staff from a Gambit cosplayer in the audience.
 

 

I filmed several other Q&A discussions during the con that I'll be uploading throughout the week.  For more video news, reviews and interviews subscribe to the AICN Youtube channel and follow me on Twitter.
