The infamous High Ground scene in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was Steven Spielberg’s idea

Stunt coordinator Nick Gillard says the infamous “High Ground” scene in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was Steven Spielberg’s idea.

“I think Spielberg… I think so [was] Spielberg’s idea, this scene. “I may be saying too much, but I’m pretty sure,” Gillard told the Chris and Company podcast. “It just is, George.” [Lucas] hung on it. We hated it, it’s common knowledge that we hated it. We had a different version for it. We fought as hard as we could to change it, but George wouldn’t have any of it.”
