Mustafa's behind-the-scenes setting

Mustafa has been one of the elements that make up the legend of Star Wars for decades. However, in the past, people's understanding of this planet was limited to some basic descriptions of its geographical environment. In the early interviews before and after the release of Star Wars, Vader's image was set to be injured in or near a crater. In the novel version of Return of the Jedi, it is also briefly mentioned that Vader once fell into lava. These scattered fragments gradually formed the concept of a lightsaber duel in the volcanic background and became a part of the myth of Star Wars. Fans are also eager to see this epic duel presented in the form of a movie as soon as possible.

During the third filming, among the first new planets to create concept maps, there was a lava planet named Mu Farstad. Not fully aware of every detail of the decisive battle, conceptual artists have designed many different schemes, such as the scene of Obi-Wan and Anakin dueling in an industrial boiling furnace, as well as various scary proto-monsters on the lava planet and so on.

Mustafa on the screen is realized by a series of different technologies. The pre-production of this film coincided with the eruption of Mount Etna in Italy, and george lucas sent producer Rick mccallum and digital photographer Ron Fricke to take some pictures of lava. Many lava shots in the finished film are based on this film.

Mostafa's scenes are basically not shot in real time. Most of the shots were shot in front of a blue screen or a green screen except the inside of the mine. The lava bank slope is a real model, used to photograph the last moment before Anakin and Obi-Wan parted ways. Red lights, blowers and mechanical equipment that can make smoke are also widely used in shooting to create a suitable atmosphere to contrast the main characters.

After the film entered post-production, Mustafa came alive under the special effects of industrial light and magical artists. The digital lava created by the virtual system can flow or erupt realistically, especially in the scene where a large amount of magma splashes on the acquisition arm, and the effect is very real. The mining factory itself is mainly composed of digital models, and the volcanic environment is a large-scale miniature landscape full of flowing fake lava.

The composition of fake lava is cellulose acetate, and the light shines from below, simulating the effect of self-luminescence of real lava due to high temperature. Because of the cost, Brian Gernand, the director of the real model, had to design a miniature landscape so that the lava could be recycled after shooting. In order to further shape Mustafa's activity landscape, digital and real smoke and volcanic ash are used in each exterior.
