The Setting
The fakers all in one scene. L to R: Fake Mace, Puffy Faced Obi-Wan, Long Haired Jake Lloyd.
Long Haired Jake Lloyd
Fig 1,1: The real Jake Lloys in an intense moment.
Fig. 1.2: An added scene where Anakin comes to say bye bye to Padme and asks her for a haircut.
Fig 1.3: Long Haired Jake hides behind Obi-Wan as Amidala tells off the Nemoidians.
Puffy Faced Obi-Wan
Fig 2.1: The noble if slightly irritable jedi apprentice gets ready to do battle with droidekas. "Master, Destroyers!!!"
Fig 2.2: We cut to the droidekas showering our heroes with laserbolts, then we cut back to Obi-Wan, who's face has miraculously puffed up! You'll also notice his hair is redder and a tad more receded. "Shield Generators!"
Fig 2.3: After racing back to Naboo, Obi-wan apologizes to Qui-Gon for giving him so much grief about Anakin. For this entire scene, we are graced with the puffy face.
FAKE SIO BIBBLE-IMAGES COMING SOON AS SOON AS I GET MY BITCHIN WIDESCREEN TPM BACK FROM TRACE!

Long-Haired Jake Lloyd: Someone give that kid a haircut!
Jake Lloyd filled some of the biggest shoes in the world. Fortunately he has a better wardrobe person than hairstylist because when pick-up shot time came, said hairstylist must have had the day off. Jake was already given a goofy bowl do (Fig 1.1) in an obvious salute to Mark Hamill, but in the pick-up shots, the bowl has progressed to a full blown mop. Check out the comparisons.
Before  After 
The first time we see Jake the hippie is when Anakins about to journey to the jedi temple for his "job interview". The Naboo guard (who is NOT NATHAN HAMILL for all you geeks who think so) lets him in and he is greeted by one of those handmaidens (Fig 1.2). The second and last appearance of Long Haired Jake Lloyd occurs during the surrender of Nute Gunray. He's seen hiding behind Obi-Wan (Fig 1.3) . Later on in the scene, we see him bowing to Yoda and the Jedi's (including our own FAKE MACE!)
Puffy-Faced Obi-Wan: Too much time at the
pub, eh Ewan?
Check this out. Gorgeous Ewan McGregor- we knew he was perfect for the role of Obi-Wan. He's an ambitious and outspoken actor who refuces to appear in Hollywood "shite", but when the pivotal role in the saga that he had loved as a child was offered to him, he couldn't say no. "It's STAR WARS!" he exclaimed. Before breaking into the mainstream with "Phantom Menace", Ewan appeared in some very subversive movies, mostly involving drugs and showing his penis. When he was called back to do pick-up shots, somehow he had bloated his face. Maybe he was spending lots of time at the pub with Robert Carlysle? Who knows, but his "puffy face" is clearly the most jarring error of continuity in "Episode I." I guess even digital technology can't fix a damn fine scotch.
Fake Sio-Bibble - Even governor's can't make it
to pick-up shots!!!
Okay he's the most obscure of our fakers. I guess the guy who played Sio Bibble couldn't make the pick-ups either (perhaps he was doing some Shakespeare in Ipswich) so they got some guy who looks exactly like him... almost. You see, unlike FAKE MACE, who is buffer and taller than Sam Jackson, Fake Sio Bibble has the same physique as real Sio Bibble, except he's way younger. He kinda looks like a younger leaner Hulk Hogan in the "Rocky III" days.
Fake Sio is also the toughest to spot because he has so little screen time. Right when our luscious Queen greets Chancellor Palpatine in the big scene we have spent so much time talking about, you can see Fake Sio. He's way in the back. You might have better luck finding Madison Lloyd! |
